Jackson was on a diet of deadly cocktail potent enough to have killed a normal person instantly but his body had developed a tolerance due to the longtime use of huge doses, the British newspaper Sun claimed quoting the findings of his preliminary toxicology reports.

Apart from high levels of Demerol, a strong painkiller and heroin substitute Methadone, Jackson’s blood tests found high doses of antianxiety drug Xanax, according to the leaked toxicology report submitted to the Los Angeles county coroner’s office, the paper said.

Jackson died after collapsing on June 25.
