Michael Jackson's dermatologist said Wednesday that he was not surprised to learn that investigators found numerous bottles of prescription drugs in the singer's home -- adding that he had warned Jackson about their danger repeatedly. "I'm very shocked by it, but I have to tell you it's not something that would be unheard of," Dr. Arnold Klein said in an appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live." Klein is the latest in a growing series of Jackson associates who have tied ...

When Michael Jackson collapsed at his rented mansion last month, the singer's arms were riddled with marks and their veins had collapsed -- both characteristics found in intravenous drug users, sources told CNN on Tuesday. The revelations add to the speculation that prescription drugs played a part in Jackson's death on June 25. The exact cause is pending toxicology results that aren't due for at least another week. A source involved with the investigation into Jackson's death told CNN that ...

The will and the wake. Amid the frenzy of confusing and conflicting information that has followed the death of Michael Jackson, Wednesday began with clarity on two fronts. The day ended, however, with more questions than answers. A federal law enforcement official said Wednesday night that the Drug Enforcement Administration had joined Jackson's death investigation, once again fanning speculation that drugs may have been involved in the pop icon's passing. Earlier in the day, the Jackson family said they would ...

More than two dozen television satellite trucks lined the narrow, two-lane road leading to Neverland Ranch early Wednesday, jostling to reserve space for a public viewing of pop icon Michael Jackson's body that won't happen for two more days. A law enforcement official told CNN that Jackson's body will be taken to the ranch, north of Santa Barbara, California, on Thursday in preparation for viewing Friday. The family plans a private service Sunday. While the question of what killed Jackson ...

Michael Jackson suffered from severe bouts of insomnia and pleaded for a powerful sedative despite knowing its harmful effects, a nutritionist who worked with the singer said Tuesday. Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who first met Jackson in January to treat his children for a common cold, said she rejected his requests for Diprivan and informed him of the side effects. "I told him this medication is not safe," Lee said. "He said, 'I just want to get some sleep. ...

A will from Michael Jackson written in 2002 has been located, but it may be one of several, the Jackson family lawyer said Tuesday. "We need a certain amount of time to look at that," lawyer Londell McMillan said, referring to whether other wills exist. "I don't personally know, but it's possible." Until now, the Jackson family has said it has not seen a will for the singer. Without a legal will, the division of his estate would be decided ...

Unlike television crime shows in which machines can instantly spit out results, toxicology testing to determine what drugs are in a person's body can be a long and painstaking process. The Los Angeles County coroner's office estimates that toxicology tests on the body of Michael Jackson could take six to eight weeks. The results are needed to determine the singer's cause of death, a spokesman for the coroner said. The singer's autopsy last week was inconclusive, although officials said ...

The day after the L.A. County coroner's office completed its autopsy of Michael Jackson, stating that the cause of death had been "deferred" until more tests were done, the pop singer's family requested a second, private investigation of the 50-year-old's body. "We don't know what happened. Was he injected, and with what? All reasonable doubt should be addressed," the Rev. Jesse Jackson told the Associated Press after visiting with the Jackson family. The question is, will a second ...

Toxicology reports from Michael Jackson's body will disprove rumors that the singer's personal physician injected him with powerful painkillers, the attorney for Dr. Conrad Murray said Monday. "Dr. Murray never prescribed Demerol, never administered Demerol, never saw him -- Michael Jackson -- take Demerol," attorney Edward Chernoff told CNN's "American Morning." "And that goes as well for Oxycontin. I think those are just rumors. When toxicology comes back ... that's going to be all cleared up," Chernoff said. Murray ...

Michael Jackson's cardiologist, who met with detectives Saturday, has provided information that will help with the investigation into the singer's death, the Los Angeles Police Department said. The department said late Saturday that it conducted an "extensive interview" with the doctor, who may have been the last person to see Jackson alive. "Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who was with Michael Jackson at the time of his collapse, voluntarily contacted the Los Angeles Police Department," the statement said. "Detectives assigned ...
