According to the Los Angeles Times, authorities are investigating at least five doctors who prescribed drugs to the singer. A source told the paper that “numerous bottles” of Diprivan, a powerful anesthetic agent typically administered in hospitals, were found in the star’s Holmby Hills home following his death. The drug’s side effects include possible heart and breathing problems — Jackson was found unconscious and went into cardiac arrest before being declared dead, suggesting that the drug may have played a role in his untimely passing.
