Jackson’s Doctor Under Investigation

Michael Jackson’s autopsy report is expected within the next week.  In the meantime, authorities are focusing their investigations on Jackson’s doctor regarding fraudulent prescriptions.  It is alleged that Jackson received prescriptions under multiple aliases.

There’s no doubt that AEG, the producer of Jackson’s “This Is It” tour, is anxiously awaiting the outcome of the investigations and the autopsy report, as these could directly affect their ability to recover for money they invested in Jackson’s canceled tour.  For more information on AEG’s stakes, see my previous blog here.
