Michael Jackson death was Homicide

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released.

I'll wait for the official version ;)
 
If anything, it was probably culpable homicide and not murder.

MJ was given drugs on a constant basis and this was probably just that 'one time too many' and his body could not handle it any longer.
 
MJ hurt himself to get more drugs all the time, I'm on the fence here, maybe they trying to get someone to blame or something for the accident
 
To me it seems like gross negligence on the part of the US trained doctor. He was giving narcotics and sedative-hypnotics to MJ, he should have known that there was a great danger of respiratory depression, airway obstruction, aspiration and subsequent cardiac arrest. These are basic things, and if you don't 1. Monitor the patient properly in the first instance and 2. Know what to do if problems occur (protect the airway and ventilate till paramedics arrive) - then you are not fit to prescribe or administer these potent medications.

All correct, except that you're discounting one little detail. $$$ > everything. I'd like to know how many mansions and cars MJ's addictions/dependencies financed for the good doctor... Deny meds & risk getting kicked off the happy bus, or agree to adminster 'just one more shot'?
 
Hmmm, hard to say who is at fault here.. but it is clear that doctors who are too quick to hand out the drugs should take part of the blame.
 
Ok, so now it is official. It WAS a homicide. The doc will propably get charged with manslaughter.

Yeah, lots of questions for the doctor to answer.

Doctor found MJ wasn't breathing around 11AM.
911 received a call around 12:21PM.
Doctor's original affidavit did not disclose administering Propofol to MJ.
