It was known that the singer took pain killers. Despite the autopsies, theories of the actual cause of death still abound. One theory is that Jackson died due to prescription pain killers administered to him by Dr. Murray. That is why investigators are looking into possible manslaughter charges against him.<\/p>\n<p>But now he&#8217;s not only being investigated for manslaughter, he is also in trouble with the IRS. Official tax documents show that Dr. Murray owes $21,728 in back taxes. Dr. Murray received $150,000 a month in salaries from Jackson but he still could not keep up with his tax payments.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Dr. Murray&#8217;s house, which he bought for $1.1 million, is facing foreclosure. He had stopped paying for it since January and could lose it by November. The amount owed to the bank is more than $100,000. This was the same house that was raided by the Drug Enforcement Administration on July 28 as part of the manslaughter investigation.<\/p>\n<p>And if all that was not enough, police searched a storage unit used by Dr. Murray because on the day of Jackson&#8217;s death, two women were seen moving two boxes out of the unit.<\/p>\n<p>At this point of time, Dr. Conrad Murray must be wishing that as a physician, he could heal himself of all his troubles.<\/p>\n<p>Check out more <a href=\"https:\/\/getirshelp.com\/blog\/category\/irs-news\/\">IRS Reports<\/a> stories by clicking that link.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"rank-math-contact-info wpseo_map_compat\"><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"rank-math-contact-info wpseo_address_compat show-address show-address-only\"><div class=\"rank-math-contact-section rank-math-contact-address\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"rank-math-contact-info wpseo_opening_hours_compat\"><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#039;re reading this, something about your tax situation has you worried.
