Coroner rules Michael Jackson’s death a homicide
Maybe Michael Jackson’s family was on to something when they said The King of Pop was murdered.
The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide, according to Associated Press sources.
Dr. Conrad Murray’s time might just be running out.
The cardiologist, the target of a manslaughter probe headed by Los Angeles police, is the doctor who unsuccessfully tried to revive Michael Jackson with CPR. The King of Pop died June 25.
He reportedly told agents he administered the drugs believed to have killed Jackson.
Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol in Jackson’s systemalong with two sedatives, the AP reports.

I see it more as a suicide. Jackson had an addiction and surrounded himself with people who would fulfill it. Seems to me that he’s the most responsible for his own death.

I agree with social worker. Everyone knew MJ had a drug problem and we all are responsible for what we allow to be put into our bodies. MJ did not fight the man when he put those drugs in his IV or arm. We have to stop and think about who is really responsible for MJ death. The doctor will become a person to blame a person to physically see but in the end MJ had a problem no one tried to help him with. So, the Family and Fans need to stop pointing fingers at the Doctor and think about who really caused MJ death. I feel so sorry for MJ it took his death for his Family and Fans to understand his pain and his problems.

I do believe it was Michael’s own fault. I am sure his Dr. was doing whatever Michael Jackson was paying him very well to do.

This sounds like another Elvis story, suicide or murder? They isolate themselves, keep only the Doc’s and pay them well to take the pain away or help them sleep/stay awake. They will be missed, but really,do any of us know what really happened???

i think micheal had an addiction, but doctors and family have the responsibility to decline him medication! look at britney spears, someone in jackson family shouldve done what mr. spears has done. mike wouldve thanked them later on! for his kids sake! he seemed like a terrific dad! its a horrible thing! just think of what those kids are going through!

I don’t believe that Dr. Murray set out to ‘kill’ Michael but he certainly knew (as did Michael) the drugs he was administering were not legal for home use….he had an option but chose to take the risk for the money. I don’t say that Michael was blameless but he would not have had the drugs had they not been given by someone with access, we can say had it not been Murray then another doctor TRUE but “better he than me”

Get real people. At what point does the Dr. stand up to the oath that he took when he became a Dr? Just because a person has a drug promblem doesn’t mean you give them all the drugs they want! I vote for life in prison for the doctor or give him a lethal injection so he doesn’t kill anyone else!
