America's anti-drugs agency is investigating the death of pop star Michael Jackson, it has emerged.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was called in by Los Angeles police to assist as they probe allegations the star was on powerful painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants, sources said.

Jermaine Jackson said he would be "hurt" if toxicology reports showed his brother had abused prescription drugs.
