They are seeking evidence of manslaughter in the death of the singer.

Agents left Murray's clinic with a computer hard drive and 21 documents for further investigation. After Jackson's death, investigators in his home found the powerful anesthetic, Propofol.

Officials are working to determine how the medication got there. Doctor Murray has emerged as a central figure in the probe. Police have spoken to him twice and say he's cooperating in their investigation.
