One Step Closer to Solving Jackson Drug Mystery

We've learned the DEA is hot on the trail of finding out who got the powerful anesthesia that may have killed Michael Jackson.

As we first reported, law enforcement sources tell us they believe Propofol was the primary cause of Jackson's death. One of the vials of Propofol found at Jackson's home was manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals. The DEA contacted Teva to track down the vial in question.

Our sources say Teva looked at the lot number of the vial and found some of the vials in the lot went to AmerisourceBergen -- a distributor of the drug. We're told the DEA contacted AmerisourceBergen a few days ago and asked for all sales records of Propofol over a recent two-month period.

We're told the DEA is looking to match doctors or other health care providers that obtained the drug with doctors who have some connection to Michael Jackson.

18. Sounds good. Track connections to MJ.

Posted at 5:51PM on Jul 15th 2009 by MJ is love.

19. Dr Klein is obviously gay. I wonder if he and Michael were lovers at one time or if he exchanged drugs for sex. Hmmmmmm.

20. my friend had sex with michael jackson on his tour in hungary, he was a dancer/stripper and MJ paid 50K for a rendezvous with him. mj is gay, and did himself no service by not coming out of the closet. his misery was his own fault. forgiveness and honesty, no matter how painful, is always the only true road we can do for ourselves.

21. hmmm, this should help move the pharma industry along in pedigreeing drugs (adding RFID) to track lots of controlled substances and other drugs from the warehouse to the patients

24. Yeah right, like it should take that long. I'm not buying this drugs story at all. Something else is going on here. Looks like TMZ is the only site with all the 'news' and 'facts'. All posts here are very questionable.

26. I can't believe how the death of Michael Jackson has become such a out of control story. The press is looking for any little thing to talk about, even if it has nothing to do with the story. Who cares if Michael had plastic surgery or that he might have worn a wig. The drug issue is very important to figure out what happened, but we should stop and think about what really happened here. We lost a great man and most everything else seems unimportant at this point.

27. @11: I was thinking the same thing, LOL.

28. has anyone asked where OPRAH was on June 25? it seems like she maybe possibly administered the Propofol to MJ, so she could be even more richer and famouser and blacker than MJ. is the DEA looking into this????

29. look. the doctor gets no more than 50% of the blame here!!!!! michael jackson was always in the pursuit of drugs; the stronger the better.................. and we know he asked for this stuff by name from his nurse!! so. in the end, its sad, yes!! but michael jackson is half at fault for his own death, maybe even more than half!
