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.
