Los Angeles police have concluded that Michael Jackson is a homicide victim, and the pop icon's cardiologist could be charged in the case, according to celebrity Web site TMZ.com.
The official autopsy results aren't due out until at least next week, "Early Show" national correspondent Hattie Kauffman pointed out Wednesday, but TMZ, citing what it claims are "multiple" law enforcement sources, says L.A. cops have "plenty of powerful evidence" that Dr. Conrad Murray is now the focus of the probe.
According to TMZ, investigators have concluded that Murray, who was with Jackson when he died, administered a fatal dose of the powerful anesthetic Propofol, which will be listed as the primary cause of death.
TMZ adds that vials of Propofol were found inside Jackson's rented mansion, and that police have already talked to the L.A. district attorney's office about possible homicide charges.
Neither the Los Angeles Police Department nor Dr. Murray has commented on the TMZ report.
Murray isn't the only doctor under scrutiny, Kauffman notes. A coroner's official served a subpoena on the office of Dr. Arnold Klein, a Beverly Hills dermatologist who treated Jackson for years and was a close friend.
