Murray Left Michael Alone To Make Phone Calls
(13-8-2009) According to the LA Times, Dr. Conrad Murray (51), acardiologist and Michael’s personal physician, left him alone under theinfluence of a powerful anesthetic to make telephone calls the morninghe died. By the time he returned, Michael had stopped breathing.
Thepaper received this information from three people familiar with theinvestigation. The sources spoke on the condition that they not benamed because the investigation is ongoing.
Murray acquired thedrug, propofol, from a Las Vegas pharmacy and gave it to Michael astreatment for insomnia. In an interview with Los Angeles policedetectives two days after Michael`s death, Murray acknowledgedobtaining and administering the medication. He reportedly told policethat the entertainer had returned to his Holmby Hills mansion in theearly hours of June 25, exhausted from a lengthy concert rehearsaland unable to sleep. Michael Jackson had been using propofol as a sleepaid on and off for a decade, according to one law enforcement source.Murray told investigators that he had given Michael Jackson doses ofthe drug repeatedly since taking a $150,000-a-month job as his doctorin May.
Murray told detectives that because there had never been a problem in the past, he felt comfortable leaving Michael alone to place calls on his cellphone, the sources said.
Forthe record: Propofol is a powerful anesthetic and operation room drugthat should only be adminstered in a hospital and with sufficient andconstant monitoring of heartbeat and respiration!
It’s unclearhow long Murray left Michael alone. When he returned, the 50-year-oldentertainer was not breathing. Murray performed CPR and another personcalled 911. At 2:26 pm Michael was officially pronounced dead.
Murrayhas maintained that he did nothing wrong. His attorney, EdwardChernoff, has repeatedly declined to say whether his client gaveMichael Jackson propofol. Asked Wednesday about the version of eventsoutlined by the sources, the lawyer said:
“I’m notgoing to dispute the police officers' claims in that regard. They werethere at the interview, and Dr. Murray did not lie to them. But theyare not telling the whole story.”
Chernoffconfirmed that the doctor had spent time on the phone talking to familymembers and employees in his medical offices before he discoveredMichael Jackson stricken in a bedroom.
In an interviewWednesday, Chernoff suggested that Murray did not realize what he wassigning up for when he agreed to become Michael Jackson’s doctor.
“Whenhe accepted the job, he was not aware of any specific requirementsregarding medications that Michael Jackson was taking or any addictionsthat he was suffering from,” Chernoff said.
But after relocating to Los Angeles, “he realized that Michael Jackson had some very unusual problems,” the lawyer said
DmitryGorin, a defense lawyer who was a deputy district attorney, said thatto prove involuntary manslaughter, prosecutors would have to show thatMurray’s conduct was reckless to the point that no reasonable physicianwould consider such a course of treatment.
“They’duse medical experts to show that the lack of monitoring equipment, lackof staff and leaving the room was so beyond the pale of what aprofessional would do,” Gorin said.
