Prosecutors said Jackson was prescribed propofol for insomnia, but the superstar died after a particularly strong dose. Propofol is used as an anesthetic and sedative, and is the drug that killed Michael Jackson in 2009, according to Jackson's autopsy report. According to Reuters, he has been heading the electronics giant since his father, Lee Kun-hee, was hospitalized in 2014 following a heart attack. Lee is the Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics. Lee's lawyers said he had taken the sedative for medical purposes as he was under psychological stress following his father's hospitalization and a trial that saw him convicted for bribery, according to the outlet. He said then he had received the injectable propofol 41 times from 2015 to 2020, Reuters reported. Lee had pleaded guilty to the charge earlier this month.
