Coroner’s conclusion on Michael Jackson expected Friday
Posted: 01:09 PM ET
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — The coroner’s conclusion on what killed Michael Jackson will likely be made public Friday, a spokesman for the coroner said.
The Los Angeles coroner was getting “everyone on board” — meaning the law-enforcement agencies involved in the investigation — for the release Friday of a portion of the autopsy report, Lt. Brian Elias said.
Elias would not say if the full autopsy report — or just a summary — would be released.
The coroner announced two weeks ago that he had completed the autopsy report but would withhold the conclusions at the request of the Los Angeles Police Department, which has been conducting a criminal investigation of the pop singer’s June 25 death.
A sworn police statement made public last week disclosed that the coroner had made a preliminary conclusion that Jackson died from a lethal level of the anesthesia propofol in his blood.

The L.A. County Coroner has just officially announced the cause of Michael Jackson's death -- Acute Propofol intoxication.
The report says "other conditions contributing to death: Benzodiazepine effect." Benzodiazepine is a group of drugs (see blow) used to treat anxiety and insomnia.

"The drugs PROPOFOL and LORAZEPAM (Ativan) were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson's death. Other drugs detected were: Midazolam, Diazepam, Lidocaine and Ephedrine.
The final Coroner's report, including the toxicology report, will remain on security, per the LAPD.

From the BNO Newsroom.
LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) -- Michael Jackson's family and the attorney of his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, both issued statements after the Los Angeles County Coroner ruled the star's death a homicide on Friday. The earlier statement and press release from the Los Angeles County Coroner can also be found below.
Jackson family statement
"The Jackson family again wishes to commend the actions of the Coroner, the LAPD and other law enforcement agencies, and looks forward to the day that justice can be served."
Statement by Dr. Murray's lawyer
"This press release contains nothing new. For two months we have been hearing the same information, usually from leaks out of the coroner's office. One has to wonder why the coroner felt compelled to release anything to all if the police investigation is not yet complete.
In any case, this has all the earmarks of police gamesmanship, and we will not be responding until we get a full autopsy report, including the entire list of drugs found in Mr. Jackson, their quantities, and all other data that would allow independent medical experts to analyze and interpret."
