Michael Jackson’s longtime dermatologist Arnold Klein — the biological father of Jackson’s eldest children Paris, 12, and Prince, 11 — was served a subpoena this afternoon, an official from the L.A. County Coroner tells Usmagazine.com.

“We are serving a Coroner subpoena at the office of Dr. Klein to obtain medical records,” Craig Harvey, Los Angeles County’s chief coroner investigator, tells Usmagazine.com. “That is all I can comment on.”

As for reports that Klein is under investigation, Harvey tells Us: “We do not investigate physicians, so I cannot comment on that. We routinely serve coroner subpoenas on physicians and hospitals and have served several in connection with this case. I cannot comment on who we have served subpoenas on or what records we have received or not.”

Klein denied he was being examined by authorities for supplying Jackson with prescription narcotics during a July 8 appearance on Good Morning America. (The singer was reportedly using powerful sedative Diprivan — generic name: propofol — at the time of his June 25 death from cardiac arrest.)

“I say that anyone who makes someone an addict or gives a person potentially dangerous substances directly to them to use, like [anesthesia] propofol is a criminal,” Klein told GMA. “It becomes nothing more than a manslaughter, or something worse than that.

“There was nothing wrong with the manner I treated Michael, because what I had to do is restructure for an individual who had lupus, who had terrible acne scarring his face,” Klein added. “But I was not one of the doctors who participated in giving him overdoses of drugs or too much of anything. In fact, I was the one who limited everything, who stopped everything.”

Toxicology reports that may determine the cause of Jackson’s death could be completed as early as Friday Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Monday.

This guy just looks creepy, if he’s guilty, they need to throw the book at him.
