Cops Remove Drugs From Jackson Home

Share

(Newser) – Los Angeles police and officials from the county coroner's office have removed bags of prescription drugs and medical material from Michael Jackson's home, and are interviewing doctors who prescribed the medications, reports the Los Angeles Times. It's not yet known if the drugs played a role in Jackson's heart attack death last week. Results of toxicology tests won't be ready for weeks.

I think a lot of forgotten and out of date RX would be discovered in any of our medicine chests, if ambitious storm troopers were to search our homes. Reply
