According to The Associated Press , Michael Jackson’s death was a homicide through the finding from the LA County coroner which could mean criminal charges for his doctor. Dr. Conrad Murray for administering a mix of powerful drugs to treat the pop star’s insomnia hours before his death.
The homicide ruling was based on forensic tests that found the anesthetic propofol combined with at least two sedatives to kill Jackson, an unnamed law enforcement official .
The ruling does not necessarily mean a crime was committed. But the finding does help prosecutors if they decide to file criminal charges against Dr. Conrad Murray who was caring for Jackson when he died June 25 in his rented Los Angeles mansion.
