Drugs Seized At Jackson's Home

Police have seized vials of prescription drugs from Michael Jackson's rented Holmby Hills estate in Los Angeles as part of their ongoing investigation into what caused the King of Pop's cardiac arrest and death on Thursday (25Jun09).

Jackson family lawyer Brian Oxman has confirmed "bags of material" have been taken by cops.

"They (police) were looking for drug vials and syringes. I don't know if they found syringes, but there would have been a lot of drug vials."

He tells Life & Style magazine, "They (police) were looking for drug vials and syringes. I don't know if they found syringes, but there would have been a lot of drug vials."

Oxman came out publicly shortly after Jackson's death, suggesting the pop superstar had been guzzling prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety pills in the months before his untimely death - and now he's ready to name doctors who signed off on the drugs he fears killed his friend.

Reports suggest Jackson suffered a drug overdose, which led to his cardiac arrest.

Oxman insists he will help the police investigation into Michael's death, adding, "I did warn him about the drugs, but I am sorry I didn't warn him enough.

"I am going to wait until I get the toxicology report, and if his death has something to do with drugs, I am prepared to name names of doctors who prescribed them."

Further to the above Los Angeles police chiefs investigating the death of pop icon Michael Jackson have urged fans not to jump to conclusions about his tragic passing after authorities assigned the case to their robbery and homicide department.

The King of Pop suffered a cardiac arrest on Thursday (25Jun09) and was pronounced dead that afternoon, aged 50, after being rushed to Ucla Medical Center in California.

Jackson's body has since been transferred by helicopter to the coroner's office in downtown Los Angeles, where an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death is due to be performed on Friday (26Jun09).

New reports suggest a cocktail of seven prescription drugs could have triggered the Thriller hitmaker's cardiac arrest.

Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's robbery and homicide team are now looking into Jackson's death, but Lieutenant Greg Strenk has stressed that foul play is not suspected.

He says, "Robbery/homicide was assigned to this because of the high profile and nature of this case. Don't read into anything as a relation to my team being here."
