LAPD detectives have issued at least three search warrants in their attempt to find out whether prescription medication played a role in Michael Jackson’s death.
According to this article from the Los Angeles Times, there are at least five physicians under investigation. However, a Superior Court spokesman has announced that information on what detectives were looking for and whether or not they found it is sealed from the public view.
It remains uncertain whether prescription drugs played any role in Jackson’s death; toxicology testing results are still anticipated.
On the day of Michael Jackson’s death, June 25, Police found prescription drugs from Jackson’s rented Holmby Hills home and returned four days later and retrieved two bags of medical evidence, according to the report.
A source told the LA Times that “numerous bottles” of the potent sedative Diprivan were found at Jackson’s home. Apparently, some bottles were full and others were empty. None of the bottles had prescription labels, and investigators are determined to find out how Jackson got the drugs, as well as who prescribed Jackson the drugs.
So if prescription drugs were, in fact, a factor in the death of Michael Jackson, some physician out will be facing a world army of trouble.
Some fans were so upset over the magazine cover they started a petition to stop publication of any more copies of OK’s upcoming issue. According to reports, OK Magazine paid $50,000 for the photos that will be featured in the magazine, as well as the very photo that has caused all this stir.
