LAPD Treating Jackson Death as Homicide

Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD is already treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide, and they are focusing on Dr. Conrad Murray.

Michael Jackson Death
Law enforcement sources tell us the evidence points to the anesthesia Propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death. As we first reported, vials of Propofol were found in Jackson's home after he died.

Law enforcement sources say there is already "plenty of powerful evidence" linking Dr. Murray as the person who administered the drug to Jackson. The evidence includes various items found in Jackson's house, including the Propofol, an IV stand and oxygen tank.

Dr. Murray's lawyer would neither confirm nor deny if his client administered the Propofol.

And we've learned the LAPD has had "multiple conversations" with the L.A. County District Attorney's office, although the case has not been formally presented to the D.A.

62. Hello !!!

AEG was behind all this from the beginning. They knew Michael would never perform 50 shows and they protected their asses by taking out a Life Insurance Policy on Michael with a "OVER DOSE" clause in it. Now people... Do dauh MATH !!!

63. Another dumb MJ article. Like we already didn't know they are treating this as a homicide. Big deal a drug addict child molester died. And a few doctors needs a few years in prison so what.

64. I agree with Buzz #54. AEG is behind this whole thing....and Murray, as unethical, money-hungry , cold hearted and STUPID as he is, just fell for the corporate killing of a King. Murray deserves what he gets.

66. I'm sorry but the doctors ARE NOT to blame for MJ's death. And, IN THIS CASE, it doesn't matter that they told him the drugs were OK to take (if that's really what happened) because HE KNEW THEY WERE LYING.

The nurse who started all this talk about the anesthesia said that she pulled out a copy of the Physicians Desk Reference so he could see/learn first-hand about the dangers of that drug. He didn't care and pooh-poohed her.

He SHOPPED AROUND, on purpose, for doctors who would tell him what he wanted to hear and give him what he wanted. There's no way that anyone could have so many crooked doctors by chance. Are most of your doctors just giving you a bunch of dangerous and addictive drugs for no good reason? HE SOUGHT OUT doctors who would be willing to bend the rules for him. And he dropped doctors who refused to give into his demands. Right after he died, his friend Depak Chopra (sp?) was saying how MJ cut him out of his life for months after he refused to give him unneeded medicine when MJ tried to MANIPULATE him into giving him pain meds.

MJ is the one who went looking for Yes men/women and found them -- they didn't go looking for him. This Dr. Murray they suspect gave the last injection is someone MJ INSISTED be allowed to live with him, according to the insurance company. The insurers said they didn't want the guy there because it was running up their costs, but they gave in to keep MJ happy. And then, even though MJ knew that Conrad Murray was a heart doctor -- NOT someone who works with anesthesia -- he had him inject him with the stuff anyway. MJ knew exactly what he was doing.

Doctors should be held responsible for bending the rules about medication that they aren't sure is needed, but they shouldn't be charged with murder in an addict's death. When you're taking that many drugs -- even the pills you can pop all by yourself -- it's just a matter of time before you die.

67. Forget about the Doctors
They need to go after the drug companies that deliberately make these drugs highly addictive.
If scientist can clown humans i'm $ure they can make a pain medication non-addictive.

70. The big money all goes to his label SONY and they will pay a much lower useage FEE.Even JOW was worryed about AEG they payed MJ in american money JOE said to gets POUNDs that would have been a much better deal.About a million and a half VS 600,000 JOE knew how to run things and I`am sure he is the one who pused MJ to buy the beatles songs.That alone is worth muti-millions per year and keep MJ from going way under PLUS MJ was a great biznes man and made money buying under market land and homes.SONY gets it all now and will buy that from AEG NO one says NO to SONY VIACOM in this biznes and lives.

72. #58 What do you think doctors take the hippocratic oath for???? Every doctor takes this oath to ensure that they will practice medicine to the best of their moral and ethical ability. Yeah, MJ manipulated people to get what he wanted. However, if doctors weren't so awe struck and so MONEY HUNGRY...they would say NO and entertainers/elite/rich would not be able to obtain the drugs in the first place. Get your facts straight honey.

73. MJ was acquitted in a court of law. STOP bashing him. And let's stop speculating about who killed him because there is still a presumption of innocence until proven guilty. I am confident that the authorities will arrive at the right conclusion and arrest the right person or persons responsible for his death.

Rest in peace Michael. May you get the peace and respect that eluded you in your lifetime.

74. Since this drug puts you in a coma, and used only by trained anesthologist , the oxygen is used since the body slow's way down to keep the proper amount of o2 to the brain, or in some cases the anestheologist will use intubation and actually breath for you. I am sure this is what Murray tried to do for 3o he tried to keep the o2 going hopeing the drug would wear off. Instead the idiot killed him. OMG what a horrible man.
