The L.A. County Coroner has just officially announced the cause of Michael Jackson's death -- Acute Propofol intoxication.
The report says "other conditions contributing to death: Benzodiazepine effect." Benzodiazepines are a group of drugs (see below) used to treat anxiety and insomnia.
The manner of death is ruled: "HOMICIDE."
The Coroner did not release the full autopsy report -- just a press notice. It goes on:
The drugs PROPOFOL and LORAZEPAM (Ativan) were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson's death.
Other drugs detected were: Midazolam (Versed), Diazepam (Valium), Lidocaine (topical anesthetic) and Ephedrine (used to treat hypotension associated with anesthesia).
The final Coroner's report, including the toxicology report, will remain on security hold, per the LAPD.
The Jackson family just released a statement:
"The Jackson family again wishes to commend the actions of the Coroner, the LAPD and other law enforcement agencies, and looks forward to the day that justice can be served."

MJ did not have a chance!!!!!!!! I don't think he intoxicated himself!!!!
Yep, Propofol potentiated by benzodiazepines. Knew it had to be. So how much Propofol in his bloodstream??
Does the Coroner's Report also list the false body parts and cosmetic surgery procedures?
REST IN PEACE MICHAEL JACKSON WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS!....To the Jackson Family, it is a shame that you chose not to take on the battle of putting your prodigy brother into a Rehab facility..instead of ignoring his addictions to stay on his payroll.It would have saved his Life. BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOthe Jacksons.
Nvm, thanks TMZ lol. Damn.. wish they'd show the levels. That's insane.. Dr. Murray is a murderer.. he knew and saw what MJ was doing, and did NOTHING about it.. only made it worse.. by killing him
