A nurse-nutritionist tied to Michael Jackson claims L.A. homicide detectives told her during an interview that needle marks were discovered on the body of the late star, says the Associated Press. Cherilyn Lee, who says she furnished Jackson with vitamins and assorted supplements earlier in the year, says she told the detectives, in turn, that she didn’t detect any such marks on Jackson when she worked with him earlier in the year. Lee says she also told the detectives that she didn’t see any bruising on Jackson, but added that it was difficult to insert IV needles into his veins, which could possibly have caused bruising. Lee has also alleged she declined the King of Pop’s requests that she acquire an anesthetic to treat his reported insomia. After Jackson’s death, police reportedly found Diprivan, a powerful sedative, in his home. Keep checking back here for the latest developments in the Michael Jackson death investigation.
