One Step Closer to Solving Jackson Drug Mystery

Posted Jul 15th 2009 5:29PM by TMZ Staff

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.

31. Propofol is spelled with a small "p"! The brand name Diprivan is spelled with a capital "D"; propofol is the generic name of the general anesthetic. Please correct this.

34. I hate you so much, MJ. I hope you are in hell now paying for all the pain you caused on this earth. Everything tastes better, looks good and seems pleasant without your evil soul in this beautiful world. You were too evil for this world and that is why fate struck you down. I will never forgive you for the pain you caused on this earth. I will despise you for as long as I live. Because of you I am a better person because I know to be on the look out for pedophiles. How I wish you had told me how many little boys you touched.

I'm sure that this is what Darene KSA meant to say. LOL!!!

37. Very regretably the truth is close to being discovered. The person that administered the drug did so following Jackson´s orders. The drug, it´s quantity and the final outcome were all of MJ´s choice. This was not a homicide, it was a suicide. Eventually, the proof of this will surface.

39. This is what happened. Dr Murray was sleeping during the day and going to Michael's house every NIGHT to put him under. Dr Murray FELL ASLEEP and woke up to find that Michael was not breathing, when he was intibated and should have been monitoring him. THE DOCTOR FELL ASLEEP.

This was negligance, and the same doctor that was giving CPR on a BED!!!! This all stinks........and I am sure it will get worse.

Just ONE MORE THING.............Why isn't anyone interviewing Uri Geller he hypnotized Michael and asked him straight out if he ever molested children and Michael said NO..............all the bad must go away and let Michael rest in piece.


God bless you Michael you should be a saint now in heaven.

44. #21 Just by you're signature, this sounds like this was just a fantasy you wished for yourself. With a sick comment like this, maybe you should go back to your closet...Permanently!!!!! Grow up. I'm sure someone along the way taught you to have respect for the dead and their family. If not...then now would be a good time to practice. God Bless and have a good evening.
