JACKSON PROBE TARGETS VEGAS PHARMACY

The potent anesthetic that Michael Jackson's doctor gave him as a sleep aid came from a Las Vegas pharmacy, which was searched yesterday by federal drug agents and police, a law enforcement official said.

Authorities are investigating Jackson's June 25 death as a manslaughter and believe the anesthetic propofol he was given was a major factor.

Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, is the focus of the investigation. He has told investigators he administered propofol and multiple sedatives to Jackson in the hours before he died, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
