The Los Angeles coroner served Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson's dermatologist, with a subpoena to review medical records
Dr. Arnold Klein arrives at Elizabeth Taylor's Diamond Jubilee Birthday in this February 27, 2007 file photo taken in Henderson, Nev. Klein, Jackson's dermatologist, who said he last saw Jackson less than a week before he died, told CNN's Larry King that the singer was in "very good physical condition," in "a very good mood," and "was very happy."
The Los Angeles County Coroner's office confirms to ET that Dr. Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson's former dermatologist, received a follow-up visit Tuesday regarding a Coroner subpoena he's been served.
A Coroner's official visited Klein's Beverly Hills office early Tuesday seeking additional records as part of Jackson's death investigation.
"We retuned to Dr. Klein's office to obtain additional medical records that were deemed relevant to the Coroner investigation," a Coroner's official tells ET. "I am unable to confirm that Dr. Klein was even there."
"We are serving a Coroner subpoena at the office of Dr. Klein to obtain medical records," revealed Craig Harvey, Los Angeles County's Chief Coroner Investigator, to Us Weekly yesterday. "That is all I can comment on."
Harvey also dismissed rumors that Dr. Klein is under investigation, telling the magazine, "We do not investigate physicians, so I cannot comment on that. We routinely serve coroner subpoenas on physicians and hospitals, and have served several in connection with this case."The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office has confirmed that Arnold Klein, MD is not a subject of the investigation into the death of his treasured friend and patient Michael Jackson. Also, reports in the media claiming that Dr. Klein is allegedly not cooperating in the investigation surrounding Michael Jackson's death are patently false."
Klein's attorney says his client will hand over the requested records on Wednesday.
The death investigation is centering on drugs, after many hospital-strength medications were found at the singer’s house following his death on June 25.As reported yesterday, the Drug Enforcement Agency contacted pharmaceutical company Teva Pharmaceuticals about the drug propofol after it was found in Jackson’s home. Two separate batches of the drug had previously been recalled after 40 patients became ill .
In recent TV interviews, Klein said he had sedated Jackson for past medical procedures. He denied ever giving the pop star an unnecessary dose of drugs.
Investigators are also contacting several pharmaceutical companies, in hopes to uncover who may have given the anesthesia drug Propofol to the singer. Vials of the drug were found at Michael's house after his death, and cops are hoping to use the serial numbers on the bottles to get more info into who purchased them.
It's a time-consuming project, so we'll have to wait and see what they uncover, but it sounds like they have a good start.
