On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson was found unresponsive in his bedroom by his in-house doctor, Conrad Murray. It was about 40 minutes before security made the 911 call. Jackson was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead at 2:26pm (PDT). He was 50 years old. In the months leading up to his death, Jackson was rehearsing daily for his upcoming "This Is It" tour, that was scheduled to start on July 8 in London. In late July, the medical examiner ruled Jackson's death a homicide and the LAPD eventually named Murray as the suspect. On August 28, the LA County Coroner released the toxicology report, declaring that Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication. Several other prescription drugs were found in Jackson's system. Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter for his malpractice and carelessness.
