C7: Michael Jackson's doctor is expected in court on Friday to hear charges against him connected to the singer's death, the Associated Press has reported.
Dr Conrad Murray will make his first court appearance in Los Angeles, an anonymous source told the news agency.
Anonymous police officials also said prosecutors plan to charge the 56-year-old with involuntary manslaughter.
A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney said she could neither confirm nor deny the claims.
Involuntary manslaughter occurs when a death is the indirect result of negligence or recklessness.
If Dr Murray is charged, a judge would consider the evidence and decide whether Dr Murray should go on trial.
Jackson died at his Los Angeles home on 25 June aged 50. His death was ruled as homicide, mainly caused by the powerful anaesthetic Propofol.
 Several drugs were found in Michael Jackson's body |
A cocktail of drugs - including sedatives Midazolam and Diazepam, the painkiller Lidocaine and the stimulant Ephedrine - were also detected in his body a coroner confirmed.
Dr Murray told police he had been giving Jackson Propofol as part of his treatment for insomnia, according to an affidavit made public in August.
But he has always maintained he did not prescribe nor administer anything that should have killed the singer.
Dr Murray's leading lawyer, Ed Chernoff, told Reuters news agency his client was in Los Angeles, saying: "If the cops want him he's not hiding. We'll be happy to surrender him and they know that."
Mr Chernoff added: "I don't think they should be filing charges at all."
