Michael Jackson murder charges expected within days

MICHAEL Jackson's death will be treated as a murder investigation, a British newspaper has reported.

Citing close Jackson family friend and music producer, Terry Harvey, News of the World has reported that murder charges will be made within days.

Mr Harvey revealed to News of the World that an autospy on the King of Pop showed he had died from an injected overdose of the painkiller Diprivan and changes will be made against one or more people.

"The autopsy shows that Michael died of a drug overdose with Diprivan and a range of pills in his stomach. He had needle marks on his neck and all over his body,'' Mr Harvey said.


"The authorities have told the family the Drug Enforcement Administration are pushing for a criminal charge.


"It is likely to be second-degree murder, due to the actions which led to his death. They have been assured that someone, or maybe more than one person, will be brought to trial.''

Last week Jackson's sister La Toya Jackson told the same newspaper she thought her brother had been murdered.
