DEA Will Assist in Jackson Case

Michael JacksonLaw enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD has asked the DEA to assist them in its investigation into multiple doctors who treated and prescribed medications for Michael Jackson.

The LAPD wants help in tracking down the source of medications. As we first reported, the powerful anesthesia Propofol was found in Jackson's home and it appears he got the drug through an IV before he died.

47. #8 ....... I agree with you and few others of you.......and this does add up to people will be put away for this.......I bet you Klien was at the house at some point and Id love to see those phone records too.......................... why would you even be "checking on" a sleeping person who had rehearsals til late................ everyone has cell phones.................id think at that point if it is a true emergency and your not sure of the exact address you would say get here quick Michael Jacksons house were about 6 min from you hurry quick............................. at that point screw the confidentiallity agreement................................... if you saved his life he would have forgiven you for saying his name on the phone

48. I had a dream last night about Michael. In the dream he was killed in his sleep by two needles injected on the side of his neck from someone. He tried to stop the person from injecting the needles but he was so weak and it was just too late.

Maybe this is all what really happened? Michael was murdered in his sleep? It's even been reported that Michael feared for his life many times. In previous years he has been scared to go out. TMZ or someone should checked this out. A plot to kill MJ may have been in the works for a long time. Michael was greatly loved by so many but also he had so many malicious enemies who wanted to bring him down.

Rest in Peace MJ.............

50. I have very close LAPD friends and have some unsharable (at this time) information - but can tell all of you that there is more than one Doctor's head on the choppng block at this time, including the good Doctor Murray! Once the autopsy results become public you will know who those doctors are! The Good Doctor Murray was hired by AEG, the concert promoters for the upcoming europe concert, (the same people who paid for the laker parade!) he was told "to keep Michael happy" at all costs! Michael contacted him the night before and told him "that he was not feeling well after the rehersal work out", the good doctor told him "to get some rest and see how he was feeling in the morning", the good doctor was at the house in the morning, and left - when he came back later that afternoon to check on Michael, that's when things went south quick! Michael was only 5 minutes away from UCLA medical center and any good doctor would've have advised him the night before to go there if he wasn't feeling well! Dr. Murray didn't know the address? He'd already been living there for a month...more will come out later about that! He left the hospital on the advice of his Attorneys who came back to parker center with him for an interview! Before even talking to anyone in the know, I realized something wasn't right when I heard the 911 tape and a freakin DOCTOR was giving someone CPR on a cushy bed rather than on a hard flat surface which is the first thing you do!!! I'm not a doctor but I do know CPR, and obviously better than Dr. Murray does! Michael didn't sign the contract for the 50 europe shows, he only agreed to do 10. My own personal thoughts and those that are also under investigation, is that the other arab doctor with two names, who was also the mastermind promoter behind the concent, and the one who hired Dr. Murray to keep Michael Happy no matter what - has something to do with this! He had nothing to lose and everything to gain being he holds a very large insurance policy if the concerts didn't take place - Michael dies and he wins big! He is a DOCTOR too! It'll really piss me off if he is one of those foreign people that holds diplomatic ammunity! Hang tight, the crap is about to hit the fan soon in the medical community! I personally believe that all pharamacy's need to be on a master computer system that tracks all medications given to anyone so you can't get one thing from one place and another from down the street! Maybe we should all send letters to our legislators asking this to become a law! I'm sure the drug companies won't appreciate it, but maybe it can save the next Michael!

51. Well someone gave him that crap and who ever it was hopefully will pay dearly. This is just a senseless death and that nurse knew it - perhaps she should have called 911 after that call she got of hot on one side and cold on the other - she knew but said nothing till after death.

52. Ya know, TMZ, if you waited for more than 5 minutes between MJ "stories" you could probably combine stories, still be cutting edge with your news coverage AND not have to keep up with 99,000 other threads barely expounding on the item last posted. I love MJ but this is getting ridiculous. I am starting to feel for the MJ haters.

54. Yeah #34, me too! I bet that's what happened.

Or maybe he was just another addict. One of the two, I'm sure.

55. WHAT A FREAK BURY HIM ALREADY

Posted at 10:55PM on Jul 1st 2009 by OVER MJ NEWS

56. The reporting about MJ must be heartwrenching to his family and close friends. The endless, unproven stories about alledged drug use, Joe Jackson - need I say more, the will being fake, and the silly report on ETonline about ET having a board certified plastic surgeon do a comparative facial analysis of the children to see if they are MJ's kids or Dr. Kleins. Ridiculous. Does it really matter one way or the other if they are/are not his biological children? He is the only father they've ever known and from all accounts they adored him. Why does it matter, Madonna and Brangelina have kids they are not the biological parents of, do people seem to care about that? Why is this different? Even if they were surrogate children, they are still his - regardless of parentage. Give it a rest already. Quite making up crap.

57. Why does Blondie Behind Surfer Dude never read a story? Do you need some encouragement, BBSD?

Okay: You have a beautiful smile - use it!

58. Geez my head is spinning with all the speculation. I feel sorry for his children and his family members whom we the public know very little about how much they all love each other. Michael was such a great entertainer since he was 5. 5 years old folks. I think the DEA will find out more than we ever imagined.

Rest in Peace Michael. You are at peace and out of the emotional and physical pain you endured your whole life.

We love you in Virginia!

60. WHERE'S DR. MURRAY'S LAWYER NOW
NO LOUD REPEATED DENIALS OF HAVING USED PROPOFOL

WHY WAS HE CHECKING OF HIM, BECAUSE HE GAVE HIM A LARGE DOSE OF PROPOFOL
I HOPE HE FRIES.....AT LEAST MANSLAUGHTER

I HOPE YOU FEEL THE ENORMOUS LOVE FROM YOUR FANS WHERE YOU ARE NOW
