Police are searching for a doctor who they hope will help in the investigation of Michael Jackson's death. Los Angeles police spokeswoman Karen Rayner says that police towed from Jackson's house a BMW owned by one of the superstar's doctors. Said Rayner: "We have not been able to interview the doctor
yet. His car was impounded because it may contain medications or other evidence that may assist the coroner in determining the cause of death." TMZ.com reported that the doctor lived at the home. Rayner said she could not confirm that and did not know the doctor's identity. She stressed that the doctor was not under criminal
investigation but coroner's investigators wanted to contact him.
Officials say it could be weeks before it's known what caused the death of Michael Jackson. An autopsy is being done today, but the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County says there's not much chance his office will have anything to release today. He says it could be six to eight weeks before results of toxicology tests are in. Lt. Ed Winter says the autopsy is being conducted "as we do any other exam." One of the things the experts will try to determine is whether
whether prescription drugs were a factor in Jackson's death. Family friend and former Jackson attorney Brian Oxman told NBC's "Today" show that he was concerned about Jackson's use of painkillers and warned his family about possible abuse. Jackson was pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center yesterday
after collapsing at his rented home in Los Angeles.
