The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide and his family doesn't think it'll be long before an arrest is made.

ABC's Good Morning America correspondent Richard Arnold believes Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, is about to be detained.

Medical experts are saying the combination of drugs given to Michael Jackson had the ability to make him stop breathing.

The coroner has determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died in his rented Los Angeles mansion in June.

Forensic tests found that the powerful anaesthetic propofol acted together with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson's death.

The finding makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who's the target of a manslaughter investigation.

Drug expert Dr Drew Pinsky says what the popstar was given is unbelievable.
