LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles County Coroner said on Friday it has ruled the death of pop star Michael Jackson a homicide due to acute intoxication from the drug propofol and other conditions.
In a statement, the coroner said propofol, a powerful anesthetic, and the sedative Lorazepam were the primary drugs responsible for Jackson's death. Other drugs detected in his system were Midazolam, Diazepam, Lidocaine and Ephedrine.
