The Michael Jackson saga will never end: Drugs were involved in the singer's death:

Michael Jackson died of "lethal levels" of the powerful anesthetic propofol, according to a search warrant affidavit unsealed today in Houston.

The court documents quote the L.A. County coroner's office as reaching that conclusion after an autopsy of the pop star.

The documents address one of the major unanswered questions surrounding Jackson's death. But they also raise new questions about how Jackson was treated, particularly in the hours before his death.

Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal doctor, told detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department that he had been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks. He had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night using an intravenous line, according to the court records.

Here is a copy of the search warrant.

Reality television contestant and murder suspect Ryan Jenkins has been found dead in a British Columbia motel:

Canadian police say fugitive murder suspect Ryan Jenkins has been found dead of an apparent suicide in a motel in British Columbia. Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit says police responded to a call about a dead person in Hope, east of Vancouver, and then called investigators who were part of the massive manhunt for Jenkins.

He was 32.

Details:

Meanwhile, sources told CTV's Alberta Bureau Chief Janet Dirks that the former real estate developer hanged himself.

Investigators on both sides of the border had asked for assistance from the public in their search for Jenkins, who is suspected of strangling Fiore and reporting her missing the evening of Aug. 15, then fleeing.

Police suspected that Jenkins had likely snuck back into his home country by car, boat and on foot.

Police didn't say how long Jenkins' body had been in the motel room. There had also been a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

According to everybody who knows her and according to her birth certificate, Caster Semenya is female.

Evidently she's been teased all her life for looking like a boy.

She must have almost no body fat to look like she does. She could be easily mistaken for a guy.

On a somewhat similar note, I was surfing the net looking for articles about infamous sports cheats, and I found a couple of them worth linking on this blog. The people holding this dubious distinction deserve every bit of their infamy, most especially the despicable Panama Lewis:

Almost as disturbing as the hideous murder and mutilation of former model Jasmine Fiore are the sexist remarks about her looks.

I mean, what the hell has that got to do with her horrible death?

Her ex-husband (or husband or whatever since there is a question about whether the marriage in an annulment) and reality TV contestant Ryan Alexander Jenkins is a "person of interest" in the case and remains at large.
