Michael Jackson's death ruled a homicide by LA coroner


Michael Jackson's death has been ruled a homicide.

Eight weeks after the King of Pop was found unconscious, a search warrant of his doctor's office revealed Monday what had long been suspected - that Jackson was given "lethal levels" of a dangerous anesthetic.

Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, the target of a manslaughter probe, told Los Angeles cops that he had been treating the singer for insomnia for about six weeks, according to the document.

Murray, whose Houston offices were searched, also admitted he had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night intravenously, the records obtained by the Los Angeles Times state.

The doctor claims he feared Jacko was getting hooked on the drug so he began lowering the dosage and mixing in other powerful sedatives like lorazepam and midazolam.

Two days before Jackson died June 25, all he gave the singer were the substitute sedatives, he insists.
