By ANISaturday, August 29, 2009
LONDON - Michael Jackson’s relatives have reportedly said that they ware waiting for the moment when those responsible for the star’s death will be brought to justice.
The Los Angeles Country Coroner recently ruled Jackson’s death as homicide caused by acute intoxication from powerful anaesthetic propofol and other conditions.
The findings may result in criminal charges against the singer’s personal physician, Dr Conrad Murray, who administered the sedative to help him sleep, reports Sky News.
The Jackson family allegedly praised the actions of the coroner and cops and said it “looks forward to the day that justice can be served”.
Propofol and the psychoactive drug benzodiazepine were concluded as the primary drugs responsible for Jackson’s death in the coroner’s report.
Other cocktail of sedatives, painkillers and stimulant found in Jackson’s system included diazepam and ephedrine.
The coroner said the complete toxicology report remains sealed at the request of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
Detectives have been probing the circumstances leading to death of the King of Pop, who died aged 50 on June 25 from a cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles mansion. (ANI)
