Cops Treating Jackson's Death 'As Homicide' 8:27pm UK, Wednesday July 15, 2009 Police in Los Angeles are treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide, according to TMZ, the website that broke the news of the singer's death. The pop icon's family have spoken of "unanswered questions" concerning the role of doctor Conrad Murray in the final hours of Jackson's life, the website said. Dr Murray was Jackson's personal doctor and was to join the star for the duration of his London comeback tour. He is known to have administered the powerful sedative Diprivan to Jackson and was with him when he passed away. The 51-year-old cardiologist's lawyers insist he has been cleared of any wrongdoing. TMZ.com said "the evidence points to the anaesthesia Propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death". Law enforcement sources told the entertainment website there was already "plenty of powerful evidence" pointing to Dr Murray. The evidence is said to include items found in Jackson's rented mansion, including Propofol, an intravenous drip stand and an oxygen tank. The drug is used to induce unconsciousness in hospital patients ahead of surgery and experts say it should only be administered by an anaesthesiologist. The Los Angeles Police Department has already had "multiple conversations with the county district attorney's office", TMZ said. The website's report comes a day after the Los Angeles county coroner's office issued a summons for the star's dermatologist Arnold Klein. Coroners said they were seeking "additional medical records" from the physician's Beverly Hills office. Investigators have been looking into the possible role of drugs in the death of Jackson, who died on June 25 after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles. The exact cause of his death is expected at the end of this week or early next week when toxicology reports are released. |

If the toxicology comes back as cause(Does anyone really think anything else) then yes should be a homicide and Drs should pay the price....
Here in Florida Oxycontins are all over the streets. They walk into a Dr office and pharmacy and get them like candy... A friend of mine died last year of a overdose..HE!! he was prescribed 750 oxys the month he died...THAT IS ONE AN HOUR!!!!!!! I kick myself for not stepping in...... |

http://www.amazon.com/Pain-Killer-Wonder-Drugs-Addiction/dp/1579546382 Here is a very interesting and factual book about Oxycontin...it describes in detail the origin of the drug, the company that made the drug, the way the drug was approved by the FDA and how it got to be so abused by so many people... This book really is a fantastic read... the post is kind of on topic...sorry, I just know that so many prescription pain killers are in the streets...and the government really was the one who approved Oxycontin with the labels it had on it... They actually said that it was a drug that had less chance of abuse than other narcotics on the market..and it was approved for moderate pain... Any drug can be abused...but this was just thrown out in the community as a safer form of opiate... |

To me, from what I have heard in the media from close associates of Jackson, is that he wanted the drugs and would not take "No" for an answer. That is a drug addict. He killed himself over the years. Sure doctors have become legal drug pushers...but murder? No. Manslaughter maybe.

Halperin: Charges Coming in Jackson Case .......Ian Halperin, who recently released his book 'Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson,' tells PopEater that his sources "didn't use the word 'homicide,'" but did confirm that there are three primary suspects. "I think it's safe to assume it's the doctors," Halperin told PopEater. "There's two doctors and then one other person ... I'm convinced, based on information from my source, that yes, homicide or not, there will be charges laid against certain people for acting inappropriately and illegally."............ |

He killed himself over the years. Sure doctors have become legal drug pushers...but murder? No. Manslaughter maybe. If the doctor administered an anesthetic to Jackson simply to help him sleep, then he should be charged. As he was using a powerful drug in a way other than it is supposed to be used. Anytime anesthetics are used in even simple surgeries, it increases risks. Because there are inherent risks to the anesthetics that have nothing to do with the surgical process. Using one to help someone sleep still carries those same risks. For anyone to do so is reckless endangerment. The doctor should know better. But they say everyone has his price. That does not change the fact that he was culpable in Jackson's death if the toxicology comes back with that as the cause of death. |
