Medical experts are hoping the investigation into the sudden death of pop superstar Michael Jackson will renew attention on prescription drug abuse, a scourge that has cut short the lives of celebrities and opened up a new front on the war on drugs.

“There isn’t as much awareness as there needs to be,” said Lois F. Parker, a senior attending pharmacist at Massachusetts General Hospital. “I think it’s much more widespread than we realize.”
