Pop star Michael Jackson's death will be treated as murder, it has been claimed.
Law enforcement officials say the Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide.
The official says the coroner determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died in his rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released.
Forensic tests found the powerful anaesthetic propofol in Jackson's system along with two sedatives, the official says.
