Michael Jackson’s death ruled a homicide


The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide because autopsy results show he died from a lethal overdose of the anaesthetic propofol, according to the Los Angeles Times. That spells trouble for Michael’s doctor Conrad Murray, who’d been dosing him with propofol every night for six weeks to counter insomnia. The Times reports Dr Murray stated he’d been trying to break Michael’s propofol addiction, and had administered a number of other powerful sedatives including valium and lorazepam to him the day of his death.
