Los Angeles prosecutors are prepared to seek an indictment of Michael Jackson's doctor on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the pop star's death. The coroner has ruled Jackson's death at age 50 a homicide with his death caused by acute intoxication of the powerful anesthetic propofol with other sedatives a contributing factor.
Propofol depresses breathing and the heart rate and lowers blood pressure so it's supposed to be administered by an anesthesia professional in a medical setting. The coroner found the propofol was administered to Jackson without any medical need and that recommended resuscitation equipment was missing. The singer was found to be in relatively good health for a man his age and no illegal drugs were detected in his system. Murray, a cardiologist, was with the star at his rented Los Angeles mansion in June and tried to revive him when he was found unconscious.
