We're following new developments in the Michael Jackson death investigation. We now know how many doctors investigators have identified as writing prescriptions for the singer. We also know how many aliases Jackson apparently used to get the drugs. We'll have those stunning numbers for you. And, just how easy is to get your hands on narcotics? 360 M.D. Sanjay Gupta investigates.

I don't care what anyone else says. Omer Bhatti is more than likely Michael's son. He looks like other family members.
Who releasing Michael Jackson private videos showing his kids as toddlers?
Anderson,
Hi!
Whatever happens with Dr. Murray, Michael Jackson's friendship and Dr./patient relationship with him is certainly a tragic one.
I always research my doctors and interview them before i hire them so i don't know why darling MJ did not. He would be alive right now.
Its so sad – so sad
Good Evening everyone.
Joe Jackson does not really exist in my mind!
He is disrespectful and selfish!
Money talks probably w/ doc shopping.. There is no national database correct?
Good evening all! Joe Jackson is off the chain! Oh my goodness...LOL....he just doesn't care. At his age, I don't blame him. I'd say what's on my mind too!!
Dr Gupta undercover? That worked? Clearly, none of these people watches CNN!
Joe Jackson still trying to cash in money from his deceased son........................This makes me sick and sad for Micheal.
Michael had a really lousy HMO.
I like what you just said regarding Joe Jackson: ...when he talks he doesn't make sense.. " that is so true... the guy seems like he's suffering from dementia.
Anderson is sooo funny...he just said that no one can understand Joe Jackson and the he's so Horseshack!!! LOL
Evening Anderson, staff and fellow bloggers
Hi Suvro! I wish the rain would make it to Boston and get the humidity out of the air. : )
@Suvro
Hello! Good evening!!! 🙂
When will webcan?
It is so cool!
Michael's mother has a leg to stand on in a matter of speaking legally. Michael did misuse drugs and at the time the will was written, Michael was not in his right mind. That will be a arugement.
Heeey Y'all! Happy Wednesday!
Wooaaah...! wait? Michael Jackson having another son? I seriously dont know whether to believe Joe Jackson or not...
I am not sure M.J.father talks the truth,i think i would tell everthing,to make more money
OH My, Jo jackson, is he saying that omar is michael's son? wow !!!
Joe Jackson should be ashamed of himself!!!!
I believe that Doctor Murray should just confess and deal with the consequenses.
isn't Glenn Beck a little more confusing than Joe Jackson???
just pondering that comment Anderson.....
Good evening everyone! Boy, the dirt is coming out on Dr. Murray. As for Joe Jackson, the less I hear from him, the better.
I had heard that Joe Jackson had a 'love child' . . . . is Omar Joe's son??
Joe Jackson obviously has zero respect for his son's privacy! ugh!
After all, is the boy a Michael's son or not?
More speculation.
Hello everyone! This is my first time on this blog.....so be gentle!
I was always under the impression that a will never has to be noterized, once it was written, it was in stone unless another is written and the other is destroyed
hello all.
Katherine wants to RIGHTFULLY control the decisions of the estate.
Re the other son: nope. He aint no biological son of MJ. I'd bet my farm on it.
Hello Bloggers. Its been raining here all day....
Joe Jackson wants money.....
it's disgusting
There is a lot of mixed messages with this estate stuff w/MJ.
Greetings to All! Hope everyone is well tonight...
Oh,my God M.J. doughter saw all this when her father dead.Terrible!
Again no wb cam,or its it me with tecnic problems?
Good evening all ... ready for the AC360 crew to give me something to think about before i fall off to sleep.

Evening Anderson Erica crew and bloggers
Helloooo Anderson, Erica, Ed Henry, David Gergen and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!
Happy Wednesday!!!! (hot weather in Shoreline 103 F degrees YIKES!)
Good evening Anderson and all. Sounds like an interesting program tonight. More and more info coming out on MJ and the best info is always from your program. One thing though, all the lawyers must be happy. How many lawyers do you think have been hired for the total MJ incident? By the time all the doctors in question have lawyers now and everyone else involved who feels they need a lawyer relative to money issues, business issues, custody issues, etc etc.
Hey Anderson, sleepless in Germany,and again good reason to watch your show.Here in Germany its midnight,so sorry for my english,in this time i even can write German.Loocking forward to verry interisting show
Hey Sweet Peeps! 😉
Hope yer Wednesday was a great one!
evening Anderson and everyone.
