Drug Enforcement Agents Join Jackson Investigation

The Michael Jackson case is going national.
The federal Drug Enforcement Administration's diversion division, which oversees prescription-drug issues, will be assisting the Los Angeles Police Department with its ongoing investigation into Jackson's death, ABC News reported Wednesday.
"We routinely offer assistance to any agency regarding the Federal Controlled Substance act, however at this time we have nothing further to comment about the death of Michael Jackson," read a statement issued by the DEA.
L.A. County coroner's officials confiscated a number of prescription drugs Monday from Jackson's rented Holmby Hills mansion, and dual autopsies confirmed that the iconic pop artist had been on unspecified meds.
The LAPD is in the process of interviewing a number of doctors involved with writing prescriptions for Jackson, who died June 25 after going into cardiac arrest.
