Michael had died before the paramedics arrived

Contactmusic says that in the report from emergency responders who arrived at Michael’s home on June 25 at around 12:30 p.m. and found him unconscious, it is stated that Michael had died about an hour before they arrived. Conrad Murray said he found Michael in a condition where his heart was still beating weakly, and it took half an hour to call emergency services. Three minutes later, the emergency responders were at Michael’s home. But according to this report, which was completed on the day of the pop legend’s death, Michael had died at least one hour before the paramedics arrived, and no vital signs were observed. In this report, which of course has no official confirmation, it says bruises were seen on Michael’s body, indicating that blood circulation had stopped long before. Dr. Steven Haefflin, one of Michael’s friends, says: “I spoke with one of the paramedics and he told me that when they found Michael, he was dead. He had no heartbeat and wasn’t breathing. They took an EKG and there were no vital signs. They said there were even bruises on his body, which means his heart had stopped and blood flow had been cut off hours earlier—and that is the most important aspect of the report. He must have died more than an hour before the paramedics arrived—or even earlier.” Earlier, police sources revealed that while Dr. Conrad Murray was in another room talking on the phone with Michael’s family and staff, Michael had stopped breathing. Although other drugs were also found in Michael’s body, it is said that the strong anesthetic propofol was likely the cause of Michael’s cardiac arrest. Murray is suspected by police of involuntary manslaughter, and investigators are looking for evidence that would implicate him and bring him to trial. A person who receives an injection of propofol must be under intense and continuous medical supervision, and anesthesiology specialists consider Murray’s decision to leave his patient without monitoring to be careless and unprofessional. Murray said that because nothing had happened in previous instances, last time he left Michael alone with peace of mind. Anesthesiology specialists believe that injecting propofol into a patient at home, away from hospital facilities, is a careless and unprofessional act by a cardiology specialist. But the main obstacle for investigators into Michael’s death is proving that propofol was the cause of the King of Pop’s death. As mentioned, besides this substance, other drugs were also found in Michael’s body. The more drugs found in his body, the harder it becomes to determine that propofol was the main cause of death—and therefore the harder it becomes to prove Conrad Murray’s guilt. One representative of an investigator says: “They have to prove that Murray knew Michael was taking all these drugs.” It is said that different doctors prescribed different painkillers for Michael. One of Michael’s doctors said he suffered from lupus, which creates severe joint pain in the body. It is also said that Michael had chronic insomnia and received propofol injections to sleep. The drugs he took were prescribed by doctors, and after his death, many doctors in Los Angeles—the place where Michael lived—were questioned. Many members of Michael’s family and his friends also blamed his doctors for his death. Former Los Angeles prosecutor Robin Sachs tells People magazine that people shouldn’t worry about the police investigation taking a long time, without any serious charges being brought against Conrad Murray: “The legal limits for handling this case are eight years. What the police want to do is, over time, calm the media atmosphere.” She adds that only because the toxicology result may have made the investigator’s job harder does not mean her former colleague is unable to accuse Conrad Murray or his other doctors. “We always work on difficult cases. The difference in this one is that because of the media and the high public expectations, the work is harder. That’s why the police are taking extra precautions.” Source: eMJey / Contactmusic / Mirror.co.uk / / people.com
