Patrick Treacy is an Irish doctor,[1] specializing in aesthetic medicine. He provided treatment to Michael Jackson when Jackson lived in Ireland for a number of months in 2006.[2][3]

Early life and education

Treacy was born in Garrison, Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.[4] He attended Queens University in Belfast, before transferring to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in Dublin to study medicine.[5]

Affiliation with Michael Jackson

Treacy states that Michael Jackson attended him for cosmetic treatment on 5 or 6 occasions after reading about his charitable work in Africa,[6][7] and that he twice arranged for an anaesthetist to administer propofol to Jackson for procedures.[7] He claims to have developed a friendship with the singer[4] and that Jackson asked him to help organise "a big concert in Rwanda for all the children suffering from HIV".[3] In 2009, Treacy was on the special witness list for the trial of Conrad Murray, but was not called to testify.[4]
