Prosecutors are ready to charge Michael Jackson's doctor with causing the star's death, it was reported last night.
Dr Conrad Murray could be facing prosecution for involuntary manslaughter as soon as today.
The physician has already admitted injecting Jackson with the powerful sedative propofol in the hours before his death and investigators allegedly believe his gross negligence was to blame for the tragedy.
Jackson died of heart attack caused by 'acute propofol intoxication', according to the Los Angeles coroner, who ruled the death was a homicide.
Website TMZ, which first reported Jackson's death last June, last night claimed Los Angeles County district attorney Steve Cooley is ready to go ahead with criminal action against Murray.

The 50-year-old doctor denies any wrongdoing and his lawyer yesterday said Murray wanted to hand himself in to police if charges are pressed - rather than face a humiliating arrest.
Jackson died after allegedly requesting an array of sedatives from Murray in Los Angeles after returning home following rehearsals for his shows at The O2 in London.
The doctor is thought to be the last person to see the star alive and has been almost the sole focus of police inquiries.
Officers who searched the star's home the day after he died found an array of drugs including valium and propofol, which is normally administered in hospital.
Dr Conrad Murray could be charged with the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson within days
