Who Killed Michael Jackson?

Allegations and half-truths have been thrown around the media in the past weeks surrounding Jackson’s death. Rather than let him rest in peace, multiple investigations have been launched to uncover the reasoning behind Jackson’s overdose and finding someway to make this a homicide and not an accidental passing. The lack of proof behind each allegation has left fans around the world hoping for the answers and for Jackson’s body to be laid to rest.

The most recent report is the most official we’ve heard in weeks. CNN’s website states: Jackson’s “Los Angeles coroner has concluded preliminarily that singer Michael Jackson died of an overdose of propofol, a powerful sedative he was given to help him sleep, according to court documents released Monday.”

Along with the latest media allegations that his personal physician gave him drugs under the table, and failed to call police until 82 minutes after he realized Jackson had stopped breathing (both currently being investigated), this new development may lead to a conviction of homicide on Jackson’s physician’s part.

But who is to blame for his passing? He was in pain and thus his doctors might have gone above and beyond what is legal by them to ensure the world-famous artist stay alive. Or did Jackson, himself, administer the drugs improperly resulting in the overdose?

I guess the only question viable at this point is, what do you think happened?
