The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died on June 25.
A designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.
Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson’s death June 25 in his rented Los Angeles mansion, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released.
According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed today in Houston, Michael Jackson died of “lethal levels” of the anesthetic Propofol. Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson’s personal physician, told police that he had been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks, giving Jackson 50 milligrams of Propofol every night through an IV.
Murray said he feared Jackson was becoming addicted and began weaning him off the drugs by lowering the dosage to 25 milligrams and mixing it with two other sedatives, Lorazepam and Midazolam.
