Lagos — American pop star, Michael Jackson's dermatologist has said the entertainer did not appear in poor health - and even danced in his office - three days before he died.

Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's longtime doctor, made his comments in an interview that aired yesterday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

However, the whereabouts of Jackson's body remained a closely guarded secret yesterday, uncertainty likely to fuel speculation that the singer's remains may yet end up at his beloved Neverland Ranch northwest of Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Times reported on its website the body was in safekeeping and no final decision had been made about a time or place for burial. Klein said he saw Jackson three days before the King of Pop died at age 50. Said Klein: "He was not in terrible pain. He danced in the office. He danced for my patients. He was very muscular and he was very, very happy and dancing."

Klein said he saw nothing that would make him worry. He also denied giving the star dangerous drugs motion-filled Los Angeles memorial watched by up to one billion fans worldwide according to some estimates, attention returned to the role of drugs in Jackson's tragic demise. Investigators are reportedly looking into five doctors who treated the superstar in the past and have zeroed in on a powerful sedative -- Diprivan -- discovered at Jackson's rented mansion after his death.

Diprivan is commonly used to induce unconsciousness in hospital patients ahead of major surgery and experts say it should only be administered by a trained anesthesiologist.

Arnold Klein he was the source of the drugs found but said he had often been concerned other medical professionals were supplying the singer with medications.

"I didn't give him this crap that they're talking about," he told ABC television's Good Morning America. "... How am I going to prescribe Diprivan when I don't understand how to use it?"

Klein, who said he treated Jackson three days before his mysterious death on June 25, believes that any doctor found to have supplied the star with drugs should be prosecuted for manslaughter.

"I say that anyone who makes someone an addict or gives a person potentially dangerous substances directly to them to use, like propofol is a criminal," Klein said, referring to the generic name for Diprivan.

"It becomes nothing more than a manslaughter, or something worse than that."

"I saw nothing at that point in time that would make me worry whatsoever but I always was concerned about him because I always worried about other doctors," Klein said.

"Here's the problem with Michael: no matter what he wanted, someone would give it to him," added Klein, saying he was not one of the five physicians reportedly under scrutiny by investigators.

"I'm not one of the five doctors. I've not been examined by anyone, I've not been contacted by police in Los Angeles," he said.

Unidentified sources close to the investigation told CNN and ABC that Jackson's body had been riddled with needle marks and collapsed veins consistent with intravenous use of a drug like Diprivan.

The Los Angeles coroner's office has said no final cause of death will be revealed until results of exhaustive toxicology tests are confirmed in the next four weeks. A death certificate released Tuesday stated the cause of Jackson's demise had been "deferred."

A gold-plated coffin bearing Jackson's body took center stage at a star-studded but somber send-off at the Staples Center on Tuesday.

Jackson's daughter Paris, 11, grabbed international attention with her heartbreaking comments at her father's memorial on Tuesday.

"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say I love him so much," Paris said before dissolving into tears and being comforted by Jackson's family.

Jackson sold more than 750 million albums during a four-decade career that was tainted by repeated allegations of child abuse, his startling physical transformation and his eccentric behavior.
