Klein, who said he treated Jackson three days prior to his death, said the singer was in great shape and spirits, even dancing in his office.
"No matter what he wanted, someone would give it to him," Klein, who noted he was not aware of the entertainer's alleged addiction to medications, said.
He said that any doctors who enabled the alleged addiction that might have caused Jackson's death are "criminals."
