The investigation into the death of Michael Jackson is being treated as a homicide, and the focus has fallen on Dr. Conrad Murray, the cardiologist who was present at the time Jackson collapsed and died, according to sources cited by TMZ.

The evidence indicates that the 50-year old pop star’s death was the result of the surgical anesthesia drug Propofol, according to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ. Authorities removed several vials of Propofol, some empty, others full, from the singer’s rented Holmby Hills mansion after the incident.

Law enforcement claim that there is “plenty of powerful evidence” pointing to Dr. Murray as the individual who injected Jackson with Propofol. That evidence includes various items found in Jackson’s house, including the Propofol vials, an IV stand and oxygen tank.

Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times, unnamed law enforcement sources confirm that the police found Diprivan at the Jackson residence. Diprivan is the brand name of the powerful surgical sedative that is administered intravenously and is known by its generic name Propofol.

“At the time of the death with search warrants, we were able to seize a number of items from the residence where the death occurred and those will assist in the investigation,” said LAPD Chief Brattan.

Meanwhile, a nurse-nutritionist who worked with Michael Jackson says she interviewed with Los Angeles homicide detectives who informed her that needle marks were discovered on the pop star’s body.

Cherilyn Lee said Tuesday that she told the detectives that she had seen no such “track marks” on Jackson’s arms when she provided vitamins and other supplements earlier this year.

Through his lawyer, Dr. Murray would neither confirm nor deny that his client had administered Propofol to Michael Jackson. TMZ claims to have learned about “multiple conversations” between the LAPD and the L.A. County District Attorney’s office, although the case has yet to be formally presented to the D.A.
