Prosecutors are debating whether to charge Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, with involuntary manslaughter or a more serious charge, a law enforcement source told FoxNews.com on Friday.
Whatever the charge, Murray will be prosecuted on a theory of gross negligence, the source said.
The agencies involved are looking for a suitable date to present their case to the Los Angeles district attorney, the source said.

The DA's office told Fox News it could not comment on the report because it hasn't received the case yet.
The Los Angeles Police Department has not released an official statement.
Murray's spokeswoman in Houston, Miranda Sevcik, and his lawyer, Edward Chernoff, said the doctor had no comment and reiterated he neither prescribed nor administered anything that should have killed Jackson.
