Not really surprising news, but sadly drugs were involved

There are two implicated drugs referenced in the toxicology report:
Buprenorphine which is an opioid used to help wean people off more serious opioids of abuse, and ketamine, which is both a recreational drug of abuse and increasingly a therapeutic drug used in the treatment of chronic depression and trauma (the clinic where I work had a Ketamine program prior to the pandemic). Reportedly, Perry was in a clinical ketamine trial, and his history suggests he likely had been on something like Buprenorphine in the past. 

It is unlikely any reputable doctor prescribed both of these drugs for Perry to self administer at home, or even one of them if they knew of the other. The Ketamine in his system was much higher than possible from the last treatment a week or so before his death.

All of this suggests one of two things: 1) he had fallen off the wagon and was using the opioid and hallucinogen recreationally or 2) he had informal access to both drugs and was trying to medicate himself, perhaps thru twin episodes of opiate urges and depression. I suppose one could say there isn’t much difference between one and two, but having talked to patients motivated by one or the other I think there is a detectable difference. It also raises the possible question that some unethical Medical professional was supplying Perry with one or both of the drugs.

Did the doctor(s) who overmedicated/killed Michael Jackson ever face punishment?

I think he spent a couple of years in prison and lost his license to practice medicine.
