Authorities searched the sprawling Las Vegas home and medical office of Michael Jackson's personal doctor Tuesday, seeking documents as part of a manslaughter investigation into the singer's death.

Los Angeles police and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents entered Dr. Conrad Murray's home in a gated community while others across town searched Murray's medical offices, Global Cardiovascular Associates Inc.

Michael Flanagan, assistant special agent in charge of the Las Vegas DEA office, said the warrants were sealed and he couldn't say what documents agents were seeking. He said he expected the search would last five hours.

With toxicology reports pending, investigators are working under the theory that Murray gave Jackson the powerful anesthetic propofol to help him go to sleep, and the drug caused his heart to stop, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. Murray told investigators he administered propofol sometime in the early morning of June 25, the day Jackson died, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Another unethical, anonymous leak.... yawn.

Michael Jackson would be alive today if we had had King Barry Obama's national deathcare. Well, at least Jackson would have likely been alive. He would have not looked like a woman and been kind of black with a real nose. Because he could not have received all that extra plastic surgery and bleaching and whatnot. Shamon! Hee hee hee!

Haha. You and me, I guess we’re the only ones here old enough to remember when Michael Jackson was ....Black!!

I worked on a rock tour years ago where the star had a dentist on retainer to administer the prescription downers. Another just went to the emergency room in every city to get painkillers.It was pretty common back then and apparently still is.

They had photos on TMZ. The agents were wearing masks.
