July 16, 2009, Thursday
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokesperson, Tenesh Dobine, stated Wednesday the investigation of Michael Jackson's death was "ongoing" and currently not being treated as a homicide.
Earlier Wednesday, TMZ published an online report, citing undisclosed law enforcement sources, claiming that "the LAPD was already treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide, and they were focusing on Doctor Conrad Murray."
The Web site further insists that "the evidence points to the anesthesia propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death."
Dobine spoke in an interview for the Access Hollywood show saying LAPD did not know where TMZ obtained information indicating Jackson's death was now being treated as a homicide.
"So you are saying this is not a homicide investigation?" Access asked Officer Dobine.
"That's right," Dobine said.
I addition, LAPD Media Relations Officer, Sara Faden, told NBC News the same information - that the investigation was ongoing and that she was not sure where TMZ got its information.
