- Michael Jackson's doctor looks set to be charged over the singer's death, according to the website TMZ.
- Los Angeles police will present their case against Dr Conrad Murray to the District Attorney's office within weeks, the celebrity site said.
- LAPD sources are quoted as saying Dr Murray will most likely face a charge of involuntary manslaughter which requires proof of gross negligence.
- Jackson died suddenly last June, aged 50, at his LA home while under the care of Dr Murray.
- The pop superstar had been due to launch a series of concerts at London's 02 Arena just days later.
- Miranda Sevcik, a spokeswoman for Dr Murray, and his lawyer, Edward Chernoff, said he has no comment.
- Both insisted the doctor had not prescribed or administered anything that should have killed Michael Jackson, according to the Associated Press news agency.
- Authorities have apparently also lined up medical expert witnesses who will testify about the normal standard of care expected in a situation such as Jackson's, the source told AP.
