Another subpoena for Jackson doctor
July 15, 2009
- |
Los Angeles coroner’s investigators probing the death of Michael Jackson served a second subpoena yesterday on the offices of Dr. Arnold Klein, the pop star’s longtime dermatologist, officials said. Craig Harvey, chief of operations for the coroner’s office, said his investigators had previously served a subpoena on Klein but would not elaborate on the nature of the records that were provided. The move was the latest action by authorities as they attempt to re-create Jackson’s medical history and focus on five doctors who most often treated Jackson, who died June 25, or prescribed him medication.
