The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been asked to aid the LAPD’s investigation of Michael Jackson’s death, according to reports.
The DEA, which enforces the controlled substance laws was asked to assist in checking out the late artists doc’s and drugs, according to the AP.
It’s being said that the DEA was brought in on the case to provide expertise in uncovering illegal drug manufacturers – known as “pill mills”.
According to reports, Jackson, the 50-year-old popstar was reportedly using various pseudonyms to obtain prescription painkillers.
Earlier today, registered nurse Cherilyn Lee claimed that Jackson asked for and was denied Propofol, a strong anaesthetic designed for surgical use that was supposedly found in his home following his death last week.
