Part 7/9:
In the years leading up to his death, Michael continued to work on new music and advanced philanthropic efforts, even as he struggled with intense media scrutiny and financial difficulties. His planned comeback concert series, "This Is It," was tragically cut short when he died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25, 2009.
The circumstances surrounding his death led to further investigations and a trial for his personal physician, Conrad Murray, who was eventually found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
