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.

64. Why should you talk to the police? Why shouldn't you? If there is nothing to hide, why wouldn't you talk to the police? You sound guilty of something.
Could someone remove the NBC script development posts, they are really, really inappropriate

66. All the people that say the guy that called in 911 sounds calm obviously didn't listen to the same call I listened to. No, he's ot freaking out, but he certainly does not sound perfectly calm. It's funny how people just love to think everything is a conspiracy and whatnot. The bottom line is Michael Jackson was an obviously addicted person, just like any other junkie. Sooner or later your body can't take it anymore. And let us not forget that he was also a pedophile. All you people who want to deify him need to wake up. He was a fantastic musician, no doubt. But he was also obviously mentally ill. He wasn't a king, he wasn't a saint, he wasn't someone any of you personally knew. So stop the melodramatics. It's unfortunate and sad that he died the way he did, but that's how it played out. I hope he finds release from the inner demons that so obviously plagued him.

68. i think it is a shame we have lost another live to pain killers. but my question is this? why is it if every one knew about mr. jacksons problem why didi they waite till now to bring this up? why did some one not say anything before the man died? and also are there not any laws in la that these doctors have to go by on giveing out meds? it is just a shame that this mad had so many pain killers and fromm what we have seen on tv alot of mr. jacksons close friends knew he had this problem why did not any of them go to the police and tell them about the doctors who were giveing him all the meds? maybe if some one would have taken the time to then instead of now maybe his life could have been saved yes the police do need to look into this and if these doctors did over perscribe the meds to him then they should be no different than any one else and yes they should be brought to justice i think the problem now is if the legal system in la would start by putting the doctors in jail a real jail not a country club and start cracking down on doctors maybe this wont happen in the future but lets all remember this the world had lost a icon and also children have lost a father and a mother has lost a son this is very very sad and my prayers go out to the family mr. jackson you will be loved steve chattanooga tenn

69. People,
Let's get real here! None of you were there so you have no idea what actually happened. You cannot second guess the police, the medical examiner, the person who made the call, the doctor who was treating him. Really, the death of every celebrity is not a conspiracy to hide the "real" truth! Why don't we wait until all the investigating is done? Why don't we wait to hear what the officials say? Stop these grandiose comments until you know what you're talking about.

70. Conspiracy, coverup, murder, assasination. Get a life people. Glenn Miller , Buddy Holly , Hank Williams , Jimi Hendrix , James Dean , Jim Morrison , John Lennon , Marvin Gaye , Tupac , Kurt Cobain and , Elvis died. This is a generational thing guys. The next generation won't care who Michael Jackson was because newer faces will come along. Remember all the above people were called the "greatest" of what ever at thier deaths too. I remember when JFK was assasinated the people cried greatest president ever, now historians rank him 12th. Mourn him and respect his talent but don't let it consume you.

71. 11. That Doctor KILLED our KING and I feel that the world has stood still since his death. Expect more Wars to come and more Murders this is just the beginning of the USA aka babylon the great being destroyed. I warned someone a year ago when James brown died that if Michael died expect it the sign of End Times.

72. It gave ne chills to read that Doctor Murray was in terrible financial trouble, and was being paid by AEG who were also putting on the concerts. AEG had multiple insurance policies if the concerts were cancelled. Could they have gained much more if the concerts in fact did not go ahead? The doctor certainly behaved suspiciously.

73. OMG, I can't believe so much airtime is being given to this rubbish, yes he was a great entertainer, but the guy was a paedophile. He bought his way out of jail and was on borrowed time, the debt he owed to society was called in and he's paid the ultimate price, now perhaps his victims can sleep easy at night knowing that this sick individual can never take away another childs innocence. At east there is some justice in the world !!!!!!

74. What is the connection between the 2 Docs? Should have they both not known is medical record to properly treat him? Something is definately wrong.

75. to say he was a peadophile when he was found not guilty is a laugh. and how funny it is that if he actually committed this crime, why would a mother, being a mother myself, let someone pay u off. if he had committed the abuse, theres no way a decent truthful person would let someone get away with it. id would have loved to send a peado down for doing that to my son/daughter. and so they dont do it again. it was all money money money. thats what the family wanted. RIP michael.xxx
