Did grapefruit smoothie cause Michael Jackson’s death?

Speculation grows about the singer’s passing

Monday, 29 June 2009

Michael Jackson's death could have been caused by grapefruit juice, according to internet speculation.

The singer – who was said to be taking the painkiller pethidine – was drinking the fruit smoothie on the advice of a nutritionist, reports Metro.

But grapefruit contains a substance which apparently stops the liver breaking down pethidine into safe by-products.

Michael, 50, was pronounced dead at UCLA hospital on Thursday.
