DOCTOR RECEIVES DEATH THREATS FOR HELPING POLICE WITH JACKSON INVESTIGATION

A British doctor MICHAEL JACKSON tried to hire as his own private physician has received death threats after agreeing to help Los Angeles police create a list of medics who helped facilitate the King of Pop's drug use.

Dr. Susan Etok claims she turned down a small fortune to become Jackson's medical sidekick - because she disapproved of the drugs the pop superstar was taking for aches and pains and a sleep disorder - and now she has become a police informant, naming some of the doctors the singer called on when he needed prescription pills and other medications.

Jackson reportedly died from a cardiac arrest after accidentally overdosing on a powerful anaesthetic he took to get to sleep.

Etok tells U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, "The police were most interested in the doctors I had seen around Michael."

The Brit insists she'll continue to help police with their investigations, despite death threats she has received.

She explains, "Somebody called me on my mobile and told me not to speak to the police and that if I did I'd wake up dead... The police are aware of it, the FBI are aware of it. It's not going to stop me."

Her information has helped police widen their investigation.

She adds, "I know that they've (police) interviewed about 35 people... most of which are doctors... And there's also doctors abroad as well, quite a lot of them."

Etok reveals the police did ask her for information about Dr. Conrad Murray, the man who took on the job as Jackson's personal physician, but she told them she had had "no dealings" with him.

Reports suggest Los Angeles prosecutors are trying to build a manslaughter case against Dr. Murray, who was staying with Jackson the night before he passed away on 25 June (09).

Etok also spoke to police about Jackson's former skin doctor Arnold Klein and Dr. Allan Metzger, who treated the pop star for lupus, but refused to disclose what she had told the authorities, if anything, about the two medics.
