A person that has not yet cropped up in this thread is Susan Etok who, by the way, is listed as one of the prospective witnesses.
There are two articles I came across in late 2009, one from the Daily Mirror UK. I reproduce below the shorter one:
“A British doctor is flying out to Los Angeles this week after police asked for her to help with their investigation into the death of superstar Michael Jackson. Dr. Susan Essien Etok, who says she had a long-term friendship with Jackson, will be flying to the States tomorrow to meet with police, and will spend four days there.
Dr. Etok met the King of Pop in Las Vegas in 1998 and said they kept in touch regularly. The 32-year-old from Luton, in Bedfordshire, claims Jackson was a drug addict and believes this is what ultimately led to his death. “He didn’t want to admit that he had an addiction. He didn’t want to admit it to himself,” she said.
Dr. Etok, who qualified with a PHD in biomaterial engineering and had six relatives in the medical profession, says she was summoned to meet Jackson at his suite in London’s five-star Lanesborough Hotel, when the star visited the capital to promote his concerts.
“I wasn’t expected to see him because it was just a publicity thing, but on the 2nd of March I got a call from Vince, one of his minders, to keep the 6th of March free,” she said. When I was at the hotel I saw a lot of drug paraphernalia and it was like a mini hospital, you would expect a doctor’s office to have that many drugs,” she said.
Dr. Etok claims that the thin-looking Jackson begged for her help and offered her half-a-million pounds to supply him with drugs to help him through his gruelling tour at London’s O2 arena. “He kept saying, ‘Are you going to do it for me? You’re going to do it for me, aren’t you?’ He was desperate, like a child begging his mum for sweets,” she said.
Dr. Etok claims she was so concerned over his health that she took a cocktail of pills from the singer’s bathroom to examine what he had been taking. “They were anti-depressants, anti-anxiety pills and Diprivan, which is an anaesthetic. That’s when I got suspicious,” she said.
On March 20, she sent Jackson an email turning down his lucrative proposal. “I told him that I wasn’t able to help him and he tried to play it down, saying ‘Don’t worry, I’ll get somebody else to do it.’ I told him I didn’t like the sound of it and asked him what was going on,” she said. Her probing resulted in a heated argument between them. “I threatened t go to his mum and he told me to leave her out of it, and then he told me, ‘You don’t tell me what to do, I’m Michael Jackson,’” she said.
Dr. Etok suspects that people in Jackson’s inner circle who were not family or friends are responsible for his death, and wants to share what she knows with police. “There were forces that blocked me from outing his problem. These are forces that were not very nice and more powerful than me. I have a certain amount of knowledge of what was going on,” she said.
She said she decided to go public with her story so that people know the truth about Jackson. “Fans want these details suppressed so they can continue to idolize Michael as a saint and he wasn’t. He was like everybody else.”
Susan Etok also said in an interview that in October 2008 Mike asked her to have a baby for him using her egg and his sperm via test tube, when she complained to him about not being able to find a suitable man, and that he pestered her for several months the last time being several weeks before he died, saying he thought she would be a good mother. She said she of course declined because she wouldn’t want to give up the child.
Some say she’s credible but many are of the opinion that she’s doing it for publicity
