Michael Jackson death ruled as homicide

The Los Angeles county coroners office in the US has declined to comment on a report from the Associated Press which quotes an unnamed police source as saying the coroner has ruled Michael Jackson\'s death a homicide.



Documents from the coroners office have reportedly shown that the pop star had lethal levels of the powerful anaesthetic propofol in his body when he died.



The findings were contained in a previously sealed search warrant, which has been made public in Houston.



The singer died on June 25 at the age of 50 after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.



Jackson\'s doctor Conrad Murray has been interviewed twice by police but has not been named as an official suspect.



Details of the LA county coroners\' findings were revealed when a search warrant affidavit was made public in Houston, Texas, where Dr Murray has offices.



Dr Murray\'s offices were raided last month as part of the police investigation into the singer\'s death.



Investigators are trying to establish if there is a case for manslaughter, based on medical negligence.
