When news of Michael Jackson’s death broke on June 25th, 2009, initial reports questioned why his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, waited so long to call 911 and request help — as RS noted, Murray admitted to waiting between 20 and 30 minutes after finding the star unresponsive in a bedroom before he located Jackson’s chef and security guard, who ultimately phoned paramedics. Murray has admitted he was administering the powerful anesthetic Propofol to the star as a sleep aid; the Los Angeles coroner ruled Jackson’s death a homicide as a result of “acute Propofol intoxication.”

Alberto Alvarez, the bodyguard who was summoned to Jackson’s room that day, has reportedly given authorities a new, detailed account of the King of Pop’s final minutes that allege Murray was busy hiding potential evidence during the critical moments when the two were trying to resuscitate the star. According to the AP, Alvarez said when he arrived in the bedroom, a lifeless Jackson was laying in bed with an IV hanging from his leg; Jackson’s children Prince and Paris entered as Alvarez and Conrad administered CPR and were removed, crying, by a nanny. Alvarez claims Murray halted CPR to gather up drug vials with rubber tops and place them in a plastic bag Alvarez picked up off the floor. According to TMZ, Murray stashed the vials in a bag inside a closet where authorities later found them two days later. Alvarez also says Murray instructed him to remove an IV bag from a stand in the bedroom, and that Murray placed the bag in a different canvas bag.
Alvarez’s revelations reportedly contradict statements he initially gave cops during two interviews conducted in the days and hours immediately after Jackson’s death. Murray’s lawyer, Ed Chernoff, told the AP, “He didn’t say any of those things, then two months later, all of a sudden, the doc is throwing bottles into the bag. Alvarez’s statement is inconsistent with his previous statement. We will deal with that at trial.”
Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter in February, and will stand trial later this year. If found guilty, he faces a maximum four-year prison sentence.

Scoop.
Relax. Deborah Ffrench made a typo in the first post (Thomson), and fixed it in the next post (Thompson). Stop being the message board police.
(And I am aware I’m being hypocritical, in telling you not to do exactly what i am doing. Deal with it.)
Lock him out don’t hare
I didn’t know what the big black-white divide of America is until Barack Obama entered the presidential race, and until Michael Jackson died.
I used to believe that America is pioneers’ land with no room for jealous jerks — I guess I was terribly wrong.
See what must have started since the day this small black guy made 100 million with Thriller when he was 24 year old, and from the days he dated Brooke Shield.
Apparently Deborah Ffrench also repeats herself as well
AWW HELL KNAWL!!!!! I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE FAM WAS RIGHT….MURDERER!!!
In a morally accurate world, Murray would not be standing in that dock alone.
As we witness the unseemly scrum of so-called journalists now rushing to proclaim Murray as the enabler in all this, whilst soundlessly denying their own enabling of the context that allowed Michael Jackson’s worst insecurities to flourish – an old quote comes to mind.
“There is no human being within 500 miles to whom I can communicate anything – much less the fear and loathing that is on me after today’s murder…. No matter what, today is the end of an era. No more fair play. From now on it is dirty pool and judo in the clinches. The savage nuts have shattered the great myth of American decency.”
Hunter S. Thompson.
History does indeed repeat itself.
MURDERER!
this doctor make me sick.
