Michael Jackson's Death Ruled A Homicide

Michael Jackson's Death Ruled A Homicide

The Los Angeles County Coroner has reportedly ruled Michael Jackson‘s death as a homicide, a law enforcement official has told the Associated Press.

An autopsy of the King of Pop found lethal levels of the anesthetic propofol in his body, which was administered hours before he died in an L.A. mansion on June 25.

A search warrant unsealed today reveals Jackson‘s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, had been giving the singer 50 milligrams of Propofol every night using an intravenous line. He told LAPD that he had been treating Jackson for insomnia.

A rep for the Jackson family tells JustJared.com, “The Jackson family has full confidence in the legal process, and commends the ongoing efforts of the L.A. County Coroner, the L.A. District Attorney and the L.A. Police Department. The family looks forward to the day that justice can be served.”
