Doc denies giving fatal drugs to Jacko

Michael Jackson’s long time dermatologist, Arnold Klein who has been linked to the investigation of the pop icon’s death has denied giving him dangerous drugs.

Klein blasted reports that he supplied the ‘King of Pop’ with powerful prescription drugs and insisted that he attempted to ween the singer off his alleged addiction in an interview on Wednesday on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’.

Jackson died on June 25 after suffering a suspected cardiac however a leaked autopsy report suggested that when the singer collapsed, his arms were riddled with injection marks, and their veins had collapsed, both characteristics said to be found in intravenous drug users.

Since then reports have suggested that prescription drugs played a part in Jackson’s death.

Los Angeles police investigating Jackson death have recruited the help of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) after discovering a number of pill bottles in his rented Holmby Hills, Hollywood mansion.

Several doctors who were known to have treated Jackson as a patient have been questioned since then but Klein insists he was not one of the “criminals” who enabled Jackson’s alleged habit and stated that he was on the list of doctors being investigated by the Los Angeles police.
