Doctor finally looks at charge in Jackson death

Dr. Conrad Murray, who has been trying to surrender to authorities for a week, will likely get his chance with prosecutors saying they will file a charge Monday in the death of Michael Jackson.

A district attorney's spokeswoman did not name the doctor nor say what the charge will be but Murray's lawyers have said they expect a single charge of involuntary manslaughter against the man who administered an anesthetic to the singer before he died.

As the last person to see Jackson alive, Murray has been the focal point of a police investigation since Jackson died last June 25 at age 50. Murray acknowledged that he administered the hospital anesthetic propofol and other sedatives as Jackson, a chronic insomniac, struggled to sleep.

Murray had been hired as the performer's personal physician as he prepared for a monumental comeback concert in London. The doctor was to have traveled with Jackson and had closed down his cardiology practices in Houston and Las Vegas to devote himself to Jackson full time.

The death of the pop superstar left the doctor's life and medical practice in limbo. There was talk of a criminal case even before a coroner's report found that Jackson's death was a homicide and pinpointed propofol and other drugs as the cause.
