Further details concerning the extent of Michael Jackson's medication intake have emerged with reports that he ordered staff to get him prescription drugs and travelled to other states to obtain more pills.

Broadcaster CNN said it had seen confidential documents from 2004 that revealed the lengths the pop star would go to to get pharmaceuticals.

It also stated that Jackson was on 10 Xanax pills a night. The use of the drug, usually taken to treat panic disorders, will add to speculation that heavy medication may have led to the death of the King of Pop.
