Cops Can't Find Jackson's Doctor

Physician reportedly gave singer an injection before he died

Share

(Newser) – Michael Jackson's doctor has apparently gone AWOL, TMZ reports. Authorities want to interview him but can't find him, sources say. Cops towed his BMW from Jackson's house last night. One source says the doctor gave Jackson an injection, possibly of the morphine-like drug Demerol, before he died. The LA coroner, meanwhile, has begun Jackson's autopsy, though results may not be known for weeks, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Gimme drugs; Gimme drugs; Gimme more drugs; Oh, damn, you gave me drugs - it's your fault! Both docs and patients in Hollywood are sick. Reply

I'm sincerely annoyed by the drug ads that tell people to "ask your doctor about ." I thought the doctor was supposed to tell you what you needed not the other way around.
