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.

48. It is well overdue that "HANGER-ONS", "PERSONAL PHYSICIANS", "PHARMACY'S", etc. are held CULPABLE for the demise of those they are entrusted and employed to protect. PROSECUTE AND LIFE SENTENCES to set an example!

If you STAND BY and DO NOTHING - and the person dies - YOU ARE GUILTY OF NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE.

Everyone who surrounds a person of high profile has the duty to raise a flag when they KNOW illegal drug use, abuse of prescription drugs, etc. is happening. These people are ONLY interested in their PAYCHECKS or what they stand to LOSE or GAIN by keeping their mouths shut despite their ethical and human responsibility. They isolate family or those that could mandate some type of help. The isolate to keep the one with the $$ completely dependant on THEM.

PROSECUTE THE PRESCRIBERS, THE PHYSICIANS, THE PHARMACYS, THE LEACHES IN ALL THE CASES WHERE THIS HAS SO OBVISOUSLY HAPPENED. LIFE SENTENCE.

49. Who else is going to be around a drug addict, plastic surgery freak, but a bunch of lackeys, flunkies, enablers? No one with an intelligence isn't going to last in that enviornment, where Jacko is calling the shots, and all he cares about is money, drugs and plastic surgery.

50. 6 prescription bottles in the house...somebody wrote them so call them on the carpet.... one day the doctors and the pharmacists will battle it out about exactly WHO if not both are responsible for this crap. It is not just the celebrities it is all of us minions too and if someone gets an ass kicking for killing a celebrity maybe YOUR doctor will think twice about prescribing more than one medication for you without checking for side effects, counter effects with other scripts.

51. Pretty cold reaction for a supposed "friend" and unprofessional for a supposed doctor. Why would he hesitate to speak with them if he truly had nothing to offer? It's standard to check with those knowledgeable about a victims health status after a death. He must be aware of this.

52.
"Police also plan to interview Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray."

Two days later they're still at the "planning" stage? What's that about. Surely they should have interviewed this guy an hour after MJ died. What exactly are they waiting for?

53. Tohme should be thoroughly investigated, he is an imposter. He is the demise of MJ, keeping loved ones away and MJ on drugs. MJ had a four hour extensive physical for the tour for insurance purposes, was in excellent health and what? Strung out two months later? Please look hard at Thome, he took over MJ’s life. He is a phony and has only known MJ for less than two years. Look up evil And there is a pic of him next to the definition.
The caller sounds like the head of security, “Brother Michael”
And where is the only person who really cares about the children? Grace come home and help the kids…please.

54. “…police want to talk to Dr. Tohme Tohme about an "alleged indirect connection"
** Translation: supplier)

“…Dr. Tohme says he's Jackson's longtime friend and manager”
** Don’t you need to had some credentials to qualify to be a “manager” to a superstar? Who knew a dr.’s degree would do!

I smell a Brittney/Sam; Nicole/Howard story starting to form. Drug ‘em up, Lean hard on them and keep the star's bank accounts open.

just sayin’

55. It alway's seem that drugs play some kind of role, in one for or another when it come's to the rich & famous. I just think it sad these angels are only sent to us for such a short time.

56. If you didn't read my post (#23), you need to read it. This is what the AP is reporting:

Jackson's family wants to know more specifics about what role AEG, the concert promoter that was staging his 50-date concert series at London's 02 Arena, was playing in his life, said the person, who requested anonymity because of the delicate nature of the situation. They also want to know more about the role of his advisers and representatives, who they believe were put in place by the promoter.

AEG spokeswoman Natalie Whorms in London had no comment Saturday.

I TOLD YOU AEG WAS INVOLVED. THE JACKSON FAMILY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD CONSIDER THEM IN THEIR INVESTIGATION. TMZ, HELP US FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS LEAD....PLEASE.

59. today is a day of mourning and we are all wondering what has happen and the reason why. do you really know what it could be and why people feel the way they do. to the people who are true fans we are hurt and at a lost for the truth. we wil never know what really happen. the most important thing that we have to remember is that his music has brought all people and racist together as a people. the music that has travel the world and one thing that we all know is that when you say michael jackson and they knew who the king of pop was .
so those who are spewing words of hate, how would you feel if your family was in the spot light how would you feel.
the journey of M.J. has stop in the physical but spiritually its just begining and it will always be what it is.
rest in peace michael jackson you dont have to worrie any more your at peace. thank you for the music and the memory and most of all may your journey to the havens about be peaceful.

60. This reeks of another Anna Nichole Smith. We need a thorough investigation on this group who was doing this 50 concert thing knowing that Michael was not physically well to do 50 concerts. I get to understand that the promoters took out insurance in the event that the concert is cancelled. The La Times stated that it was the promoters who hired the controversal doctor who could not perform a proer CPR to be Michae's doctor. I am wondering if Michael was murdered with the drugs to make it look like it was a cardiac arrest, no wonder the doctor was performing CPR on the bed which only compound the matter.The doctor is on the run. Where is the guy who made the 911 call? I heard that it was the same promoters who was incharging of bundling Michael's assets to get him back on financial tract. Michael is now dead, and something stinks about the whole affair.
