The Los Angeles County coroner has officially ruled that Michael Jackson’s death was a homicide.
The King of Pop died of “acute propofol intoxication,” the Coroner’s Office said in a press statement on Friday.
“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 coroner’s office said in the statement.
Mary Jane For MJ? Search warrants in the Michael Jackson death investigation, which were unsealed on Thursday, have revealed that drugs including marijuana and numerous other prescriptions were found at the late singer’s rented Los Angeles home. The Insider has uncovered police documents reporting that bags labeled “marijuana” were discovered in the mansion.
Oh boy, here come the conspiracy theorists. Devoted fans of Michael Jackson have claimed the iconic singer is not dead after gaining access to an alleged video of the King of Pop jumping out of a coroner’s van after his death.
“I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in,” the LiveLeak post reads.
The poster claims the video was received from a “trustworthy” source, although there is no timestamp or a clear shot of the man believed to be MJ.
La Toya Jackson will open up about her late brother Michael, his alleged murder, and the King of Pop’s relationship with the three children he left behind in an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters next month.
The former Playboy centerfold has been outspoken about her belief that her 50-year-old brother was murdered ever since MJ’s death of a suspected overdose at his rented Los Angeles June 25. Now she’s breaking her silence. ABC promises a “no-holds-barred interview will cover topics including La Toya Jackson’s impressions of Michael Jackson’s children and her insight into the Jackson family.”
“I am thankful to the investigators for uncovering the truth to the world, and I look forward to the day that justice will be served to ALL the parties involved in my brother’s homicide.”
La Toya’s interview with Barbara airs on Friday, Sept. 11 on 20/20. La Toya will also fill-in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck as a co-host on the Walters-produced daytime talk show The View on September 16 and 18.
The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide, an unidentified law enforcement official told The Associated Press Monday.
The finding makes it more likely that criminal charges will be filed against cardiologist Conrad Murray, who was with King of Pop when he died in his rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25. Read the rest of this entry »
