Cops Seek 2nd Person in Jackson Investigation

Michael Jackson caseCops want to talk to a second person in their investigation into Michael Jackson's death.

Sources tell TMZ police want to talk to Dr. Tohme Tohme about an "alleged indirect connection" between prescription drugs and MJ's passing.

Dr. Tohme says he's Jackson's longtime friend and manager. He tells us, "I don't have anything to do with his (Michael's) medication or health. This is B.S. -- why should I talk to police?"

Police also plan to interview Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray.

32. For those who want answers like "who is the 911 caller"

The police like us would have picked up on ALL the question/faults we have!

Right now they are trying to keep this under control, and make these doctors come in on there own rather than being dragged in, which would become a media frenzy!!

I have no doubt the police KNOW somthing is wrong but they are not saying anything until they can, and know 100%!!!


ARRESTS ARE COMING...BUT only when they KNOW they can pin them!!!

HAVE FAITH...

33. Dr. Tohme Tohme sounds awfully defensive for being a "friend" of Michael's. And he was not his manager! Frank Delio was. Dr. Tohme sounds like another shady greedy parasite that was in Michael's life. But hey Michael was 50 yrs old and knew better..But hey you grow up with trash (Joseph Jackson) you feel comfortable with that level of people forever.All of this goes back to Joe and what he did to those boys and girls, is own children .

34. We've been following this story from Europe from the night this event happened. Jackson's death is nothing but complete medical neglect. This man died unnecessarily and prematurely due to your lenient medical regulations against licensed doctors. Can your US doctors really do anything without any recourse for their actions? How on earth would this man even be able to become addicted in the first place, if he had not been prescribed medicines over and over again? Addictive medicines are only prescribed for a very short period, yet here is a person who has been prescribed these drugs for over 20 years! The fact that he was incessantly given addictive medicines, should make the physician fully liable. It doesn't matter whether he would demand medicines, its the responsibility of his physician to assure he is not given meds beyond the safety limits and certainly not for a prolonged period. They have clearly not cared to do that, but been more interested in good payouts from Jacksons company more than actual medical ethics.
Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger, and now Jackson, all dead from medical misuse that basically originated from their doctor. And who is the next victim going of medical neglect where a physician don't seem liable for anything they cause?

35. If you listen to the original 911 call the guy on the phone asks the doctor if he saw what happened. Can anyone tell what the doctor's response is?

38. When did the MD find Michael Jackson? How long did he really do the CPR. According to Jermain Jackson the MD who was a Cardiologist spent an hour for CPR. That is not the standards for CPR. Why didn’t this Cardiologist have a portable Heart Defibulator on sight? Why didn’t the MD call 911 himself? Why didn’t the caller say it was Michael Jackson? Do you think there was a delay from the EMS due to the fact that the caller said that a doctor was already there? Why did Michael have a Cardiologist as an inhouse doctor as opposed to another doctor? Did he have a heart condition before? Why didn’t the same MD do an EKG on that Wednesday or send him to the hospital the night before when he was having breathing problems.

39. I was thinking about this last night. THAT DOCTOR DEFINTELY NEEDS TO BE QUESTIONED! something isn't right!!! Theres so many unconnected details...and too much to write lol. I just pray MJ gets justice!!!

btw: Like i can totally accept the fact that he over dosed. But the fact that he had a doctor to live with him to protect him from these type of things...something aint adding up and i'm glad the police is getting to the bottom of it...

another thing I listened to that tape and when asked if he witnessed any thing the doctor didn't respond...hmmm The doctor didn't make the call but any wayz...I'm praying for some justice. And I know that the Jackson family knows what's up!

40. 20. C'mon TMZ...Can't you find any other news besides Michael Jackson?? This is turning into 24/7 Anna Nicole Story again.
Very boring...Is anybody keeping an eye on Kim Soon Ill to see if the rocket it pointing this way? How about our economy, anybody doing anything to find people jobs?

TMZ, ENough already with this story. And.....isn't there some way to limit the lengths of these comments. Don't you think
"Script Development" has made his point more than once and endlessly. Who cares what any of us think. Start finding
some other stories...you do have reporters, don't you????

42. Do they know where the first doctor is?? Has he disappeared?

43. Dr. Tohme: "This is B.S. -- why should I talk to police?"
Uh, because if you're MJ's "longtime friend and manager," AND you have nothing to hide, you should be eager to talk to police to help in any way you can to resolve the investigation of his death!

Methinks Dr. Tohme doth protest too much.

44. #6 your on to something. TMZ just had a video of the paps talking with him a couple a weeks ago give or take a day or two, he looked and sound good.
Also, the medical examiner found nothing wrong with his heart, brain or any of his vital organs. To me this all screams murder.
The Dr. Knew when he was going to be alone with MJ and when to do his deed. I don't care if MJ asked him to give him a shoot, which I don't think MJ agree to a shoot from this guy, but nevertheless, if the Dr.gave him the shoot it's murdered and being a Dr. he should know how much a patient can take. That Dr. should go to trial and let the courts figure out what happened. I think the Dr. is guilty.

Finally it seems that MJ was dead for at least a couple of hours and I notice he looked like he was dressed to go some where and not in bed or lounging around the house or his bedroom. When I'm in bed I'm in sleeping clothes and if I'm just relaxing at home or around my bedroom i'm in sweat pants and tank top.

This Dr. Is Creepy and why was he there in his sister's car? where was the Dr's sister? something is up with the Doc and his family. Creepy and Spookey.

45. I think the Doctor drugged Michael to keep asleep while he and his accomplice ransacked the house stealing, he had given Michael too much and killed him that's when all hell broke loose and they panicked this is a case of Murder plain and simple that Doctor was there trying to steal or look for Michaels money he thought may have been lying around the house.
