Michael Jackson’s death certificate lists ‘injection by another’ as fatal injury
The wording on Michael Jackson’s death certificate has been officially changed to say that “injection by another” was the fatal injury that caused his death on June 25.
Homicide was also written into the death certificate as the cause of death.
The new public record lists “acute propofol intoxication” as the main cause of death and “benzodiazepine effect” as another significant contributor.
Jackson’s personal physician Conrad Murray has given accounts to police of the amount of drugs he gave to Jackson, unsealed court papers show.
But the amount of propofol does not match an expected lethal dose, medical experts say.
The coroner’s determination of homicide makes it easier for prosecutors to seek criminal charges but does not mean a crime was committed.
