Police were tonight hunting for a doctor who allegedly injected Michael Jackson with painkiller shortly before he collapsed and died.Detectives urgently want to quiz the doctor over the singer's final moments at his home in Los Angeles yesterday but he is said to have vanished.Jackson's family today revealed the 50-year-old had been having daily injections of Demerol, a synthetic pain-killing drug similar to morphine.

A close relative told, the website that first broke the news of the singer's death, he was injected at 11.30am shortly before having a catastrophic heart attack. Less than an hour later, at 12.21pm, a 911 call was made from the house in Beverly Hills, raising the alarm and paramedics were told he was 'not breathing at all'. A police source alleged it was Jackson's doctor who had injected him before he died and that he had now vanished. The doctor's BMW was towed from outside the singer's LA home last night and now he is nowhere to be found, the website said.
