2009-08-28 19:05:30

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.

It can't be homicide, he took the drugs himself.
If the doctor restrained him and injected him then it could be homicide.
The fact is MJ had enough cash to hire a doctor who would write the scrpits he wanted and move from doc to doc until he had All of What he wanted.
I think the Doc in question should lose his license to practice and prescribe but, not homocide, maybe a distribution charge yeah that seems reasonable.
Drug dealers in the street don't get homocide charges when their junkies O/D, in this sense MJ isn't special he is the same as every other junkie in the world. His doc's are no different than a dealer on the corner granted they've got a better education but their ethics are just as broken.

Why are people making such a big deal out of this? I know Michael Jackson was an "important" person in our superficial society but honestly? We're really drawing this thing out and I'm EXTREMELY tired of hearing about this.

How about ruling it a negligent suicide?
