Chopra: Drug concerns with Jackson since 2005

AP, Jun 27, 2009 1:56 pm PDT Spiritual teacher and medical doctor Deepak Chopra says he has been concerned since 2005 that Michael Jackson was abusing prescription painkillers and most recently spoke to the pop star about suspected drug use six months ago.

Chopra says Jackson, a longtime friend, asked him for painkillers in 2005 when the pop star was staying with him following his trial on sex abuse allegations.

Chopra says he refused but said the nanny of Jackson's children repeatedly contacted him with concerns about Jackson's drug use over the next four years.

He says she told him a number of doctors would visit Jackson's homes in Santa Barbara County, Los Angeles, Miami and New York.

Chopra says whenever the subject came up, Jackson would avoid Chopra's calls.

US Stocks Surge to Highest Level of Year on Housing News

By Mil Arcega Washington 24 July 2009 The benchmark Dow Jones industrial average of the top US companies broke the 9,000 point mark Thursday on strong earnings reports and an improving housing picture. Wall Street extended its recent gains Thursday after a new housing report showed sales of previously owned U.S. homes rose at an annual pace of 3.6 percent in June. It was the third straight month of rising home sales.
