Jackson had a cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home in June, and was 50 when he died.
The LA coroner's verdict of homicide has made it more likely that Jackson's doctors will now be charged with killing him. In America homicide includes murder and manslaughter.
His personal physician Dr Conrad Murray has already been questioned by police but he has not so far been considered officially as a suspect.
The drugs Midazolam, Valium and Lidocaine, as well as the stimulant Ephedrine, were also in Jackson’s body when he met his death.
