The mystery surrounding Michael Jackson's death is, slowly yet surely, unraveled as it has just been reported that the Los Angeles County coroner has ruled his death a homicide, citing a combination of drugs was the cause. The ruling, thus, makes it more likely that criminal charges will be filed against the late singer's physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who was with the King of Pop the day he passed away on June 25.
The news is first brought to public's notice by the Associated Press. In a report on its site, the news media claims "a designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed."
Dr. Conrad has become the person of interest in the manslaughter investigation conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department to determine the event that led to Michael's death due to cardiac arrest. According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed in a Houston court on Monday, August 24, Dr. Conrad admitted he'd been treating Michael for insomnia for six weeks, during when he gave the superstar 50 milligrams of propofol every night.
Fearing that Michael could be addicted to propofol, Dr. Conrad admitted to lowering the dosages and mixing it with two other sedatives, lorazepam and midazolam. He confessed that on the morning Michael passed away, he gave him the same combination of drugs that made him sleep.
At the time of writing, detectives are still investigating whether Dr. Conrad's action can be classified as negligence for an involuntary manslaughter charge. Meanwhile, Michael's family is still waiting for the final words from authorities on what killed the late singer.
And while the official cause of Michael's death will remain sealed until the manslaughter investigation is completed and the final autopsy report is released by the Los Angeles County coroner's office, the Jacksons have confirmed to bury Michael in a private ceremony at Holly Terrace in the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. on September 3.

They need to rest this poor man in peace.. they have made this go on long enough!
Micheal was a great artiste,if his death was homicide,let justice takes its place.
We have to give the man his due: Michael Jackson was - beyond a shadow of a doubt - a great artist whose recorded legacy will endure for decades, maybe even a century or more. But an examination of his life is riddled with questions of all that might have been; all that should have been. It is more than likely that this was a severely mentally ill human being who never sought the treatment he so desperately needed; surrounded by fawning sycophants who enabled his sickness by constantly reassuring him that he could do no wrong. As John Lennon once said in the same context about Elvis Presley, another victim of the excesses of fame: "It's always the courtiers that kill the king". The sad, inescapable truth is that for reasons we will probably never be able to fully understand, his talent and his career were ultimately wasted. Like Charlie Parker, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland and Lenny Bruce before him, his brilliance as an artist would be overshadowed by severe, psychological torment and an unexplainable desire for self-destruction. Therein lies the real, unspeakable tragedy of Michael Jackson. Tom Degan Goshen, NY
Michael Jackson will forever be a noble musical genius. A man who really believed that true innocence could not be corrupted. Sadly, he forgot about the greedy few who saw him as an opportunity just waiting to happen. The Bible says it another way, “don’t let your good be evil spoken of…” I have seen this many, many times before. Honest people, who for no more than having poor judgment, have their reputations sullied with lies and innuendo, for the rest of their lives. Up to one BILLION people worldwide, tuned in via the Net, mobile airwaves, television, cable and satellite to pay their respects for this noble genius. The world loved this man. Those who spoke dishonorably of this fallen genius should be ashamed of themselves now that we know that Michael Jackson was taken from us by the hands of another.

Jackson, in such low doseages as to insure Emotional dependance. with Lidocaine, which can cause extremely great cravings for more. Lidocaine is over counter drug used in Crack Cocaine manufacturer, Lidocine is stimulant. Big block to Homicide trial is DA itself. DA come up thru petty drug incursions & street level open air markets. Making conveants to avoid loss of own team extreme in calous nature. even though control Drug are Non tranferable, MD not To Profit from dispensation, Writing narcotics script in ones own name for onesself, & dispensing narcotic to drug addict ARE ALL FELONIES, Most DA don't have courage to enforce those laws. IUn Fact Da Orchestrate & Have commited More Deaths with Drug Weapons than many others. DA Sells Priviledge & thats part of back room lawyer/Account dealing to manage highly paid "professionals", Da hopes to cull. More Boy Scout troupe than Legal Justice. however, family Demands Prosecution & Coroner is willing to testify its' Homicide. Only FOOL wouldn't Start with greater charge & let jury decide if lesser charge is in order.
