Officials reports, on Friday, King of pop singer Michael Jackson’s death has been ruled a homicide from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and other drugs, and police will refer the case to prosecutors for possible criminal charges.
The lawyer for MJ’s doctor is criticizing authorities for withholding the full results of the singer’s autopsy.
Edward Chernoff, who represents Dr. Conrad Murray, says he’s at a loss as to why the Los Angeles County coroner’s office only released a brief summary of the results Friday, including that Jackson’s death was a homicide and the cause was the powerful anesthetic propofol and another sedative. (AP)
The Los Angeles County Coroner said in a statement that propofol and the sedative lorazepam were the primary drugs responsible for Jackson’s June 25 death at the age of 50. Other drugs found in the singer’s body were midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine and ephedrine.
