Michael Jackson's Death Ruled Homicide

The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled the late Michael Jackson's death as a homicide. This will make it more likely that the doctor who was Jackson's friend and who was with him died will have criminal charges filed against him. Forensic tests found that the anesthetic propofol and at least two other sedatives in Jackson's system caused his death. Even though his death is ruled as a homicide, that means that his death was caused by another person but that doesn't have to mean that a crime was committed.

George Clooney Hit in Motorcycle Accident

George Clooney and a friend of his were injured yesterday when their motorcycle hit a car on a narrow road across the Hudson River from New York City. Clooney had a rib broken and his friend, Sarah Larson, broke her foot. They were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen.

Clooney and Larson were going north and sped up to pass on the right of a 1999 Mazda Millenia that was going to make a right turn. The car made a left turn signal but instead turned right and that is when it hit Clooney’s motorcycle. Clooney is doing well but it will take a long time for his ribs to heal.
