Michael Jackson: It WAS homicide

Image Flag

MICHAEL Jackson's death certificate rules he WAS murdered, the News of the World can reveal.

We obtained a copy of the document and an amendment to it - that have never been published.

On the original July 7 certificate deputy coroner Cheryl MacWillie refuses to give a cause of death.

But after further probes, it is amended on August 31 by medical examiner Christopher Rogers to "homicide".

He concludes Jacko died from "acute Propofol intoxication" due to an "intra-venous injection by another".

Meanwhile Jacko's doctor Conrad Murray, 56, has hired a hotshot lawyer in case he is charged over the June 25 death.

Jacko basks in the applause at the end of his final concert in LA.

Hollywood legal eagle Michael Flanagan saved a nurse from a murder charge when she was accused of wrongly administering painkiller Propofol.

Murray already has a Houston law firm building his defence. Police affidavits say he admitted loading up Jacko, 50, with Propofol and other drugs in the hours before his death.

The prosecution is likely to use lawyer Patrick Dixon, who helped put Phil Spector behind bars.

But yesterday a Jackson family source said: "We are all keeping our faith with the police. We want them to do this case properly and put away the man who we feel is responsible for Michael's death.

"We want the authorities though to release details of what happened to Michael in his last few hours. We want the paperwork to come out to show just what drugs were put inside him and what happened in his last few hours alive.

"Much of the documentation has been kept secret - and we can't understand it.

"We still feel that there is more than one person responsible for Michael's tragic death. Joe won't give up on getting justice for his son and a lawuit is his focus."

Last night a coroners office worker explained the void branding on the forms was issued by the health authority which holds the documents. They brand forms like this to avoid them from being used for fraudulent purposes.

I wish people would stop referring to him as Jacko.
It's not very nice. He didn't like being called that name and neither do i like him being called it.

Whoever was involved in MJ's murder will get their karma for what they have done. I hope one day, that the truth will come out of what really happened to our beloved MJ. I will never stop loving MJ no matter what.

I really miss Michael. I grew up listening to his songs that certainly made me a much better person.
Every day I wake, I find myself deeply saddened, heartbroken to learn that Michael Jackson is not here anymore.
There is nothing that can slow or stop my pain I believe is the pain of millions of people who loved him and I love him and marei forever.
There will never be another Michael Jackson. Not like that. He was and is unique and always will be.

Michael my king, you are where my heart is with you.
With deep love and a lot of pain ... Renata, your Brazilian fan.

Michael suffered from a very serious illness called Lupus. He lived alot more years than most with this condition do. I have seen it.. it is in my family and it has now taken several lives. He also suffered from another skin condition Vitiligo. For that he was made fun of and crucified by many. Thank heavens he believed in God, for he quite simply could never have believed in mankind when treated so horribly by so many. funny how when famous female singers and actresses get breast implants, have thier noses and faces done, sun tan , very little is heard about it, but let a black man try that and a famous one at that, the letches come out of the woodwork like cockroaches!!!

Michael Jackson was the number ONE, the BEST.

By Meyo.. Posted January 12 2010 at 5:55 PM.

DON'T CALL HIM JACKO!!!!! HE HATED THIS NICKNAME!!! BE MORE KIND TO HIM THOUGH AFTER HIS DEATH!

By BMMJJ.. Posted January 12 2010 at 11:15 AM.

They gave him all the blame when he was alive. There wasn't a time when they weren't talking about what he was doing to himself. He took all the abuse he could take. To the point where he couldn't even get a descent nights sleep. I've gone many night without sleep and it does unimaginable things to you. Both physically and mentally. There's no limit to the things you'd do to just get some sleep.


They give Dr.Death the respect to call him his real name and can't honor a brilliant man like Michael by calling him his real name. This world really disgusts me. I hope there's serious judgment for the people that tore down such a beautiful man like Michael Jackson.

By Smiley.. Posted January 12 2010 at 3:23 AM.

Michael jackson was my biggest IDOL!! when I was just a little girl .. I listen to his music.. and I love it.. <3

Physicians take oaths about how they are going to practice medicine. This guy should have just said no just like many other people had said no to MJ. But Murray was in debt and the lure of that much money ($150,000 a month!) was too much for his greedy self. Although MJ may have some culpability, this physician did not do his job, keep his Hyppocratic Oath and is a disgrace to his profession. He deserves whatever he gets and should be held up as an example to other physicians who think they can practice medicine irresponsibly.

By Sara.. Posted January 11 2010 at 4:18 AM.

happened something that day and we have to know what and there is someone who has to pay for this.
Michael would never have killed himself someone suggested and gave him propofol a medicine that noone can give out of the hospital because is dangerous and with this medicine are necessary machine for monitoring the patient, and Dr Murrey if he is a doctor has to know this things, where he was when Michael was dieing? Why Michael in that moment was left alone?
ANother thing is that Dr Murrey was paied from the Sony because he had to check the michael's fisical condition during the this is it tour.

some people in the medical profession have always abused their position, and if offered enough money will do whatever their patient requests. when are people going to wake up to the fact that they are human beings like the rest of us, they are not demi gods, but many will and do abuse their positon if the temptation is great enough.

By emma.. Posted January 10 2010 at 9:16 PM.

I would like to say MiCHAEL jACKSON was a wonderful man. I have just watch ed his video This is it, it is Fabulous. you could see that Michael loved life and with his work he was a perfectionist, watch it to see what i mean. He did not want to die, i do believe he was definately murdered.

By jilly.. Posted January 10 2010 at 7:46 PM.

James Desborough, you do understand murder and homicide are two different things? Murder requires intent to kill, not the case with the Jackson death.

By jc.. Posted January 10 2010 at 7:20 PM.

who cares - when there is very serious conflict going on in the world. Do I really care how an entertainer who takes drugs has shuffled off this mortal coil. NO I DO NOT

By jane davies.. Posted January 10 2010 at 6:07 PM.

We put our trust in Doctors when we need help, yes, mistakes are made and mistakes can be fatal but these people have been through years of medical training and really should know better, at the end of the day, we put our lives in the hands of Doctors so they really should know what they are doing and take responsibility for it. After all, they have a duty of care to their patients whoever they are.

By Lisa.. Posted January 10 2010 at 5:08 PM.

what's with the jacko bit? even after death the insults continue while they use info about michael to seek and pull attention towards themselves. RIP Michael and with your death may you be free from all your sin's imagined or not.

By anonymous.. Posted January 10 2010 at 4:39 PM.

Michaels hardly to blame, he had burns in his scalp which needed painkillers to help with the pain and surely if a doctor told you to take something you'd take it?

By Kerry.. Posted January 10 2010 at 1:32 PM.

"We want them to do this case properly and put away the man who we feel is responsible for Michael's death."

Michael was responsible for Michael's death. It was his decision to take he drugs and he hired the people needed to administer them. He took responsibility at that point. But I guess there always has to be a scapegoat.

By Christine.. Posted January 10 2010 at 10:35 AM.

i would just like to comment on what Cozmik said. Altho Michael may have abused his body for years, he didn't kill himself. Someone is responsible for Michael's death and it isn't Michael

By Debra.. Posted January 10 2010 at 8:53 AM.

who pushed this doctor to do this...police must findout....heavy dose was given during that time intentionally or not...?that to findout...this is not a small mistake i believe...Investigators must continue their investigation and must question this doctor in all possible ways to find the real truth..

By vapmi.. Posted January 10 2010 at 5:34 AM.

Because he's dead Cozmik.....I think he's paid his price....dontchathink????

By Paul Gordon.. Posted January 10 2010 at 1:12 AM.

Too many people made money out of Jacko even his medical staff, who put their principles and common sense aside to keep Jacko happy. It just goes to show that you can be too rich and famous, and surround yourself with flunkies who will give you anything you want, however bad for you it is, even risk killing you, to make a fast buck. Throw the book at the lot!

By Vincent Packham.. Posted January 10 2010 at 12:48 AM.

How about Michael himself. He abused his body for years yet they are trying to blame everyone else. How come he doesn't share any of the blame?
