Michael Jackson’s Death Being Treated as Homicide
Still without a final conclusion as to the exact cause of the King of Pop’s death, it is being reported now that the LAPD may be treating the cause of death as a homicide. The LAPD believes the pop star’s death was due to misuse of a powerful anaesthesia and his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, may have been involved.
According to TMZ.com, law enforcement officials claim there is “plenty of powerful evidence” connecting Dr. Murray as the person who injected Jackson with the drug. The physical evidence included many medical items found in Jackson’s house, including the anaesthestic drip, Propofol, an IV stand and oxygen tank.
Propofol is a powerful sedative that is used in hospitals to put patients, who are undergoing surgery, to sleep. It is believed that Jackson often requested the drug to curve his insomnia.
The investigation into the singer’s death has led to yesterday’s (July 14) subpoena of the singer’s former dermatologist.
Los Angeles County’s chief coroner investigator Craig Harvey said, “We are serving a coroner subpoena at the office of Dr. Klein to obtain medical records. That is all I can comment on.”
“Dr. Klein has been and continues to cooperate with the coroner’s office into the investigation if the death of Michael Jackson. There will be no further comments in Dr. Klein at this time. Also the coroner has indicated to us that Dr. Klein is not under investigation by the coroner’s office,” said Klein’s lawyer Bradley Boyer.
So…basically this is either malpractice, or just a bunch of fooey. Sounds like a wild goose chase, and someone may be getting a raw deal here. Maybe it is time for the good doctor to take a couple Orlando vacations and get the heck out of Dodge.
