City employees paid Michael Jackson's dermatologist a visit late this morning…and it wasn't for crank calls or a check up.

Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter arrived at Dr. Arnold Klein's Beverly Hills office just before noon today with his badge and a large envelope.

"We are doing an investigation," he told E! News as he entered the building. "It's an ongoing investigation."

Yeah, but when will we actually know something, and what does it have to do with M.J.'s kids' probably-not-biological dad?

Winter left the office more than an hour later, accompanied by Klein's attorney, Brad Boyer.

While he would not comment on La Toya Jackson's recent pointed comments, he did promise that the findings of the hotly-discussed toxicology report are expected to be announced in the middle of next week.

Winter also claims Dr. Klein has cooperated extensively, and that his visit was in search of medical records, which he recovered. No actual medications were sought or recovered.

Meanwhile, the DEA's quest for answers regarding Jackson's death have led them to the makers of Diprivan, one of the drugs the star is rumored to have taken.

A representative for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries confirms to E! News that the DEA has contacted them about a lot of Propofol (aka Diprivan) in relation to their investigation.

Denise Bradley, a senior director of corporate communications for the company, says that a recall of two separate lots of the drug has also taken place. The lots were reportedly recalled after it was discovered that they contained elevated levels of endotoxins.

"The batch that the DEA contacted us about relating to their investigation is not associated with the lot numbers that are being recalled," she says.

Propofol, a powerful sedative, has been reported as one of the drugs seized from Jackson's Holmby Hills mansion.

E! News is awaiting comment from the CDC, FDA, and DEA for further details on the recall of the drug and investigation. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, an international company headquartered in Israel, recalled the drug voluntarily.
