Reports have come out today, that Michael Jackson’s death has been ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County Coroner. Eight weeks after Jackson’s tragic death, the autopsy has been completed and the results released. Detectives have released an affidavit Monday that confirmed what the media has been reporting for weeks now, that Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, may have in fact played a hand in the pop stars early demise.

In the wake of the homicide ruling, it makes it more likely that detectives will seek criminal charges, although as of now, none have been filed yet. The release included Murray’s confession that he did, in fact supply Jackson with sedatives prior to his death at his Los Angeles home.

“I’m surprised by the number of admissions [Murray] eventually made, putting himself right there, administering Propofol for many, many nights in a row,” said Vesna Maras a former L.A. County deputy district attorney who prosecuted two local nurses in 2004 for using Propofol.

It has been documented that on the day Jackson, 50, died Murray administered Valium at 1:30 AM, and then half an hour later gave the singer Lorazepam through an I.V. Murray then reported that when those two did not have the desired affect, the doctor administered Midazolam an hour later. After that the doctor claims he gave Jackson other sedatives later in the evening. 

Murray has stated that when none of these took effect, the doctor administered the Propofol at 10:40 AM. Murray then claims that Jackson fell asleep and he left the room for less than two minutes. 

Michael Jackson died that day from an overdose in what the LA County Coroner is now ruling as a homicide. So far, no charges have been filed against the doctor, but an investigation is ongoing, and some reports indicate charges are pending.
