HOUSTON, July 22 (Xinhua) -- U.S. federal agents and police on Wednesday raided the Houston office of the doctor who was with pop star Michael Jackson when he died, local media reported.
A team of several dozen U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents, Los Angeles police detectives and Houston uniformed officers arrived on Wednesday morning at Dr. Conrad Murray's Armstrong Medical Clinic in Acres Homes, Houston, and swarmed inside the clinic, according to ABC news.
The search was based on preliminary results of an autopsy which indicate Jackson's death was tied to the drug Propofol, a powerful anesthetic normally used only in hospital operating rooms, the report said.
Murray, a cardiologist with offices both in Houston and Las Vegas, was with Jackson when the 50-year-old King of Pop collapsed on June 25. Murray had left Houston to be with Jackson as the singer prepared for his comeback tour.
Los Angeles police have denied reports by celebrity website TMZ.com that they are investigating Jackson's death as a homicide, but Jackson's families have hinted that they think foul play was involved.
Jackson's dermatologist has also been subpoenaed in the case.
Investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department and agents from the DEA also conducted an investigation Tuesday on Murray's office in Las Vegas, according to a FOXNews.com report.
