LAPD Treating Jackson Death as Homicide

Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD is already treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide, and they are focusing on Dr. Conrad Murray.

Law enforcement sources tell us the evidence points to the anesthesia Propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death. As we first reported, vials of Propofol were found in Jackson's home after he died.

Law enforcement sources say there is already "plenty of powerful evidence" linking Dr. Murray as the person who administered the drug to Jackson. The evidence includes various items found in Jackson's house, including the Propofol, an IV stand and oxygen tank.

Dr. Murray's lawyer would neither confirm nor deny if his client administered the Propofol.

Yeah I know, it's TMZ but even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while.

If I recall, TMZ first broke the news that he had died.

When he told his entrouage that he couldn’t make the London gig...he become worth more to them dead than alive.

I heard LaToya is hiring OJ to find the killers.

FYI, lapd is disputing this and have no idea where TMZ is getting this info.

Howard Hughes, Elvis, Anna Nicol Smith, Jackson. Always the same story.

Thank you God for keeping me a man of modest means.

Is “homicide” the right term?

Yes, a woman in the video says Michael Jackson and Jesus are about even...

There’s a fine line on the continuum between “malpractice” and “homicide.”

[Welcome2thejungle]

MJ was no more murdered than Anna Nicole Smith was. Like so many Hollyweird celebutards he was surrounded by a retinue of enablers and sychophants who catered to his every whim. These folks take drugs legally which are prescribed by enabling doctors.

“HOMOCIDE”!!!!!

Is “homicide” the right term?

What - are you thinking "fungicide"?

Or "pesticide"?

[Kimberly GG]

If propofol killed MJ, SOMEONE had to be present to administer it. To hook him up and unhook him from the drip, every time it was used. But, I certainly hope that they dig deeper than Dr. Murray and any connection he might have with Nation of Islam or AEG.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

I've tried hard to ignore the MJ publicity machine. It's been round the clock coverage and I think it's the lowest point in the history of the MSM. And believe me you don't get much lower than the MSM very often. Words fail me to describe the depths of Larry King. Madness isn't even a suitable word to describe his performance in this whole freak show.

However while riding in a car (captive) going to lunch last Friday, I heard an interesting take on this whole pathetic episode. MJ has debts outstanding in the tens of millions. His income is nil or very low. The publicity pouring in has lead to a spike in the sale of his recordings and videos. Maybe his creditors have found a way to get some of the money back that they are owed. I don't know. I generally don't like conspiracy theories but I found this one almost feasible. Comments?

More like assisted suicide. He’s been using and abusing drugs for decades, long before this doctor came onto the scene.
