LAS VEGAS (AP) — Court documents show police linked a drug blamed in Michael Jackson's death to the pop singer's personal physician who bought it at a Las Vegas pharmacy.
Search warrant records released Friday show that authorities raiding Applied Pharmacy Services on Aug. 11 sought paperwork showing it was the place Dr. Conrad Murray bought several vials of the powerful sedative propofol.
Records show a receipt obtained in a July 28 search of Murray's Las Vegas medical office showed he bought propofol May 12 and administered doses from that purchase to Jackson in the hours before the singer died June 25.
Murray is the focus of a Los Angeles police homicide investigation, but he has not been charged with a crime.
Attorneys for The Associated Press and other media outlets obtained the release of the documents this week.
