LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24 (AP) - (Kyodo)— The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide with a fatal combination of drugs given to the pop star hours before he died in late June, the Associated Press reported Monday.
Quoting a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, the report said the powerful anesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson's death, adding that criminal charges will likely be filed against the doctor who was with him when he died.

Whoa bud! The King of Pop done in by... manslaughter, I guess.
OK the doctor did it with his little syringe. Surprise surprise! Now can we please stop talking about MJ?
WHO CARES???????
Motive?
Oh great.
How many more years of hearing about THIS crap and reliving this perverted has-beens life?
I guess I should avoid television completely for the next two weeks, huh? Except for things like the Mayberry RFD rerun channel.
Wow, could this lead to a “trial of the century”? I wonder if the doctor would face murder charges. Perhaps manslaughter or whatever the legal term is for doctors administering drugs improperly. I briefly heard a news report that Jackson had high levels of some anesthetic drugs in his system, and , that these drugs normally are never used outside a hospital setting when someone is having surgery. So this doctor will have lots of explaining to do, if he’s to avoid indictment or prison.
Since the Doctor was making x amount of dollars per month what was the motive to knock off his cash cow?
Perhaps, he kept Michael alive longer than others would have? Michael had enough money to srround himself with people who always said yes.
Yeah, I know. Can’t tarnish an icon’s image. Have to find someone to blame.
Clearly, Michael would never make a bad choice or assert his will over anyone or thing.
Perhaps the doctor had just concluded a life-cycle talk with MJ and postulated that he was becoming a drag on his family, so end-o-life was MJ’s conclusive decision. He was said to be ahead of his time, so he was already agreeing with ObamaCare’s forward thinking...?
You can only abuse your body for so long before it starts abusing you back.
Don't you just wish? With this finding we'll have wall-to-wall MJ on TV for the next 2 years at least. This is like manna from heaven to Nancy Grace and that cohort. Greta will be on it like a lawyer chasing an ambulance. Oh wait, she IS a lawyer.
I can’t imagine a murder charge sticking, it’s manslaughter at best. But the Jackson Family is pushing hard for it to be murder to try to protect MJ’s reputation, they are overreaching big time.
Perhaps a good place to start is with those who open a thread like this.
Stupidity?
Unlikely, the proper call here would be criminally negligent homicide, equating to manslaughter, 2d degree, at best. No malice aforethought, no heat of passion, no "depraved indifference to human life", just simple negligence, with a fatal outcome. There's no way that equates to murder...
the infowarrior
Oh, God help us. Now MJ will be a martyr and we will be subjected to MJ tributes for the next frackin’ 5 years.
They have no idea if it is murder. They just want to have a big hollywood show trial to keep their names in the papers.
Racism is what did it. Black against black/s
