Police and drug-enforcement officers have raided a Las Vegas pharmacy in the alleged hunt for evidence linking Dr Conrad Murray with the death of Michael Jackson.
Agents swooped on Applied Pharmacy Services this morning, armed with a search warrant and were reportedly looking for computer records and documents relating to prescriptions for controlled substances, written by Dr Murray for the King of Pop.
Information regarding drugs that may have been shipped to the music legend’s personal doctor was also being sought, according to TMZ.com.
It is reported that Murray, 55, who lived with Jackson and administered CPR as the music legend lay dying on his bed, may have obtained the powerful anesthetic propofol from the pharmacy.
The potentially deadly drug was allegedly administered to Jackson only hours before he died, on 25 June.
Jackson’s sudden death is being investigated as manslaughter and propofol, which he took to help him sleep, is the main focus.
Police from Los Angeles and Las Vegas, alongside agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency, served a sealed search warrant and a notice of inspection on the premises at around 9.20am this morning.
Agents were later spotted wheeling at least four cases from the building.
Murray, who lived in Las Vegas before moving in with Jackson, has been at the centre of the police probe from the beginning, but he has not been charged with any crimes and police have not called him a suspect.
The medic’s Las Vegas home and his doctor’s office in Houston, Texas, have already been searched.
Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine is the family “rock” following her son’s death, Kathy Hilton has claimed.
Paris Hilton’s mum Kathy first met Michael when they were both teenagers and the pair remained friends. However, Kathy said she has been left shocked by the King of Pop’s sudden death.
She said: “I have never lost anybody that I went to school with that I was close to in a friendship [that lasted] all these years.”
Michael’s other was recently awarded custody of the singer’s three children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, seven.
Kathy added: “I adore Mrs Jackson. Katherine is the rock. It is like Camp Jackson, all of those kids. All the aunts, the uncles, the children come there. She plays Scrabble with them.
“She loves it. I think that’s what keeps her really young.”
Sources are saying that though the almost 80-year old Katherine Jackson may receive custody of Michael Jackson’s three young children, it will be another Jackson female who will take the responsibility of raising them. Rebbie Jackson, the family’s eldest sister and daughter, is reported to be the one that the kids will live with and be raised by. The decision was said to be mutually agreed upon by the entire family as Rebbie keeps a very low profile with the press and throughout their young lives, she has always been greatly involved. In fact, Rebbie, who lives in Las Vegas, has been staying with Katherine at the family compound with the kids since Michael’s death.
Godfather to all three of Michael Jackson’s children, Mark Lester, has spoken of how they have reacted to the tragic loss of their father.
Lester said, “It is obvious to me that Blanket is still unsure about what exactly happened to his father. He said, ‘Where’s Daddy gone? On holiday?’”
Lester continued: “It was a rhetorical question and it broke my heart. Prince was taciturn, unusual for him, but we still had a hug.”
The former UK star of the movie Oliver!, made in 1968, said that he had words of comfort for Paris. “Paris gave me a tight hug and we just held each other for a while. We were both welling up. I told her that her dad would always lie in her heart and be remembered by at least half the world. She was disappointed my daughters weren’t able to come to the memorial. She asked me, ‘Can we come and stay with you at Christmas and I can bring the presents?”
Lester said he was very touched and hoped it could be arranged, adding that it was difficult to say before custody arrangements were finalised. Lester is planning to attend the final funeral of Jackson but is waiting for confirmation of time and place.
Paris, he said, remembered to ask if he would bring his children.
Law enforcement documents from Michael Jackson’s 2005 molestation trial show the depth of the late singer’s drug dependency. According to an employee at the Neverland Ranch, the King of Pop was using aliases to get drugs as far back as 1993. Joey Jeszeck, who worked security, told Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies in 1993 that Michael would ask him “to go to a pharmacy and pick up his prescription for him.” He said that some prescriptions were in the name of other people. The documents also say that “Sometimes the pharmacy wouldn’t release Jackson’s medication to him since it was not in Jeszeck’s name. Jackson would then call the doctor and have the prescription changed into the name of the person he was sending to pick it up.”
The late pop legend’s body was moved from the Staples Center in Los Angeles through a secret underground tunnel. E! News reported the following about this secret operation undergone in order to secure Michael Jackson’s remains: “After the service, security moved the golden casket through an underground tunnel that connects the Staples Center to the Nokia Theater. The tunnel – typically used by maintenance and food service workers and occasionally talent – runs beneath Chick Hearn Court, where hundreds of people were encamped following the ceremony.” How wonderful! Now they will probably be transporting it by armed jet to an undisclosed location somewhere in the Pacific where the body will undergo reconstructive surgery… again… so that the man can finally rest in peace. Way to go, guys, this is most certainly what Michael Jackson would’ve wanted!
New information has surfaced in regards to the pop star’s delicate financial situation. Again, this is very shocking! It seems that Michael Jackson used aliases in order to get bank loans… and the number of different aliases he used reaches the staggering number of twenty. Some of these aliases are as follows: Mr Michael Jackson, Michael JJJ Christ-Jehovah, Michael J Jackson ChristJeh, Michael Jackson Jehovah and Mike J Jackson. Honestly, what kind of banks did Michael Jackson rely on anyway? What bank administration would be so careless as to overlook the background of such people in regards to loans? And moreover, how much money did Michael Jackson actually manage to swindle from these banks anyway?
Michael Jackson’s brother, Jeramine Jackson, recently stated that he would’ve liked to be the one that had died. Jermaine Jackson’s words were: He went too soon. I don’t know how people are going to take this, but I wish it was me.” Right… and people will take that how? We’re going to consider that Jermaine Jackson is just playing the hero or the martyr for show? Of course not! We call all see the true profoundness this statement of Jermaine Jackson has in relation to Michael Jackson’s recent death. Hopefully others will share all of their inspiring ideas about the pop star’s death as freely as Jermaine Jackson did.
The late pop singer’s body will apparently be taken to his beloved ranch in a horse-drawn carriage on July 3rd where it will be held on display in a glass coffin there. A source said the following about Michael Jackson’s last journey: “The family want to give him a really special send off. Michael always said Neverland kept him young. It seems fitting. On Sunday there will be a memorial service for his family and close friends to mourn in private. Details for the funeral are still being finalized.” So, they decided to go with the glass coffin idea in the end. Michael Jackson’s father is probably going to have a little both at the entrance where he will be selling tickets to those who want to see his son.
