Micheal Jackson's Dermatologist Speaks Out

Dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein answers some questions on Good Morning America regarding the late King of Pop.

While close relatives and fans said goodbye to Michael Jackson on Tuesday at the Los Angeles Staples Center, a lot of attention has been circling around Michael Jackson's long time dermatologist, Doctor Arnold Klein.

TMZ has reported of Jackson's family giving investigators a list of doctors they believe over-prescribed medication to Michael Jackson. But according to CNN.com, Dr Klein stated on "Good Morning America" that he is not one of the five doctors under investigation. "I was not one of the doctors who participated in giving overdoses of drugs, or too much of anything," Klein stated. He also claims to have prevented Jackson of taking other drugs that were too dangerous such as Dilaudid, a drug which Klein says is ten times stronger than morphine.

Dr. Klein has also told of seeing Michael Jackson three days before his death where he entertained patients, seemingly healthy, "no problems of slurred speech, shortened movement or anything."

After being asked to confront rumors of being the biological father of Jackson's kids, Dr. Klein didn't exactly rule out the possibility. "All I can tell you is, best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children. But I am telling you, if push comes to shove, I can't say anything about," Klein tells Diane Sawyer.

CBS News reports portions of Michael Jackson's brain are still being tested at the coroner's office to detect any additional conditions Jackson may have had that would determine cause of death.
