Summer News Slump Ends for Some: MJ’s Death Ruled a Homicide
Citing lethal levels of the general anesthetic Propofol at the time of his death, Los Angeles coroners have called Michael Jackson’s death a homicide. While this doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise to those who have been following the story closely, it likely ensures a continued media circus in the days and weeks to come. Also, the social media network “Twitter” is currently offline. Coincidence?
Los Angeles’ coroner Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran reached that preliminary conclusion after reviewing toxicology results carried out on Jackson’s blood, according to an affidavit.
The drug Diprivan, known by its generic name propofol, is administered intravenously in operating rooms as a general anesthetic, the manufacturer AstraZeneca told CNN.
A source close to the investigation told CNN that Dr. Conrad Murray is believed to have administered the drug to Jackson within 24 hours of his death on June 25.
Investigators have searched Murray’s home and clinics for evidence related to the anesthetic propofol, according to documents filed in court.

Truth Or Fiction: Did 30 Rock Call Comcast A Porn Company?
30 Rock is a fictional comedy whose writers consistently have Escher-esque fun with real-life influences and characters. But one has to wonder if the disparaging depiction of the fictional cable provider "Kabletown," and its revenue dependence on pay-per-view pornography isn't reflective of Comcasts' business model, and perhaps a concern in the halls of NBC HQ? Video after the jump.
