The Los Angeles County coroner's office officially ruled the death of Michael Jackson a homicide and said he died of "acute propofol intoxication."
According to a statement from the coroner: The "manner of death has been ruled homicide. Cause of death was established as acute propofol intoxication. Other conditions contributing to death: benzodiazepine. The drugs propofol and Lorazepam were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson’s death. Other drugs detected were midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine, and ephedrine. The final coroner’s report includes a complete toxicology report will that remain on security hold at the request of the Los Angeles police department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office"
Homicide refers to a death at the hand of another person, but does not necessarily translate to criminal charges. In court papers, the Los Angeles Police Department has identified Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal physician at the time of his death, as the target of a manslaughter investigation.

Could I be accused of being small in hoping that this bumps Teddy from the front pages for one microsecond?
What, MJ is dead?!?
I don’t how the coronor could have ruled this was a homicide. There would have to be intent. If this is the case they are going to have to round up thousands of enablers and doctors who supply celebrities with their “prescription” drugs.
Agreed, Propofol probably just helped it ALONG.
Propofol, midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine, and ephedrine. And more than one shot of some.
His blood must have been 10% drugs. I can’t believe he couldn’t sleep with all that crap in him until he was nearly dead.
No, I believe manslaughter is listed as homicide with coroner findings.
Jacko did accidental drugged suicide by paid employee incompetent quack doctor.
I understand Michael Jackson is going to perform at Ted’s big show.
Could they start immediately, please?
Intent is what's needed for a first degree murder charge. There's also negligent homicide, yes?
Yes, from what I’ve read he had to be a walking pharmacy that night.
ok... accidental manslaughter yes, murder no.
With all that in him no wonder he was broke. I’m surprised he could even walk to the bathroom unassisted.
OK-—details please...was it the blue or the red pill?
I hear you. :) I’ve never posted a word about Jackson until this but the Kennedy thing is way too old already.
Homicide simply means he was killed by the actions of another, as opposed to his own or an accident or illness.
Murder (which requires intent) has not been found to be the cause... yet.
I’d like some public disclosure of the physical characteristics....such as was he really noseless, did he have a pecker, stuff like that.....

MJ doesn’t have to worry about sleepless nights any longer.
There will and should be a malpractice suit, and his insurance will probably not cover him...
There no doubt will be a wrongful death suit from the family.
Anyone can call anonymously to the dept of professional registration and have his licensed put of for investigation.
The you have the criminal charges which he may or may not win, but only after millions of dollars in legal fees.
The sad thing is, like Elvis, MJ was surrounded by people who were paid to protect him, and didn’t. That include mediocre musicians and song writers and producers.
The man went down hill after Quincy Jones stopped producing his records...both musically and as a human being.
Well he's “sleeping” soundly now. It should be an object lesson to all Veterinarians just how difficult it is to put down the type of crypto-zoological anomaly that was "Michael Jackson".
[”acute propofol intoxication.”]
How cute was it? (groan)
You could ask some of the little boys that he used to keep around his house.
OK then, if that’s the definition I understand now.
My gawd, no wonder he died. That's enough to kill a billy goat.
This label was found on his liver..
Yea, that 50 concert tour he was about to start would of just gone dandy...
I bet the full tox report on that freak will fill volumes.
No doubt. :-)
A reckless act by another who should have known better would constitute a coronor’s finding of “homicide.”
OK folks I get it now. I did not distinguish the term “homicide” in how it is used and defined by the coronor versus cold blooded first degree murder.
This Just In! (News Flash)
Michael Jackson is STILL dead!.
Negligent homicide ?
I’m sick of hearing MJ news but propofol being used in a home setting blows my mind. I worked as an OR Nurse for years and have watched it knock out thousands of patients.
Is he buried yet?
How in h*ll could someone NOT sleep with all that in his system?? I just don’t understand chemistry I guess.
I agree. The doc was not only negligent in giving it to him but it seems he didn’t monitor him after administering it.
Michael Jackson should have had an anesthesiologist on board.
Yeah, at least Teddy stuck to ethanol
It HAS to be ruled homicide. Manner of death only gives you a certain number of choices
1) natural causes
2) accidental
3) suicide
4) homicide
5) undetermined ( usually in cases where you have deteriorated remains)
6) unclassified ( to complex to delineate)
The fact that people doctor shop and overdose on pills tends to be classified as suicide. In this case the doctor was in attendance and administering the drugs in question ( in a grossly unethical and contrary manner I might add)
MJ might as well have hired Dr Kervorkian.
ouch
