Jackson Begged for Drugs, Affidavit Shows
Official: L.A. County Coroner Rules King of Pop's Death a Homicide; Criminal Charges Likely for Doctor
(CBS/ AP)  Michael Jackson pleaded with his doctor to give him more sedatives to cure his insomnia prior to his death, a search warrant affidavit released Monday showed.

Also, the L.A. County Coroner's Office will rule Jackson's death a homicide based on forensic tests that found the anesthetic propofol combined with at least two sedatives to kill the singer, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released.

Jackson made "repeated demands/requests" for propofol, which the singer called his "milk," according to the affidavit. Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's cardiologist, administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid - a relatively small dose - and finally, Jackson fell asleep.

Murray told investigators that at the time of the King of Pop's death, he had been trying to wean Jackson off propofol. The doctor said he'd been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of the drug every night via an intravenous drip, a search warrant affidavit said.

Murray said he feared Jackson was becoming addicted to the anesthetic, which is supposed to be used only in hospitals and other advanced medical settings.
