Conrad Murray Wasted an Hour

The strangest case in the Michael Jackson murder investigation has been that it took a long time to request an ambulance. According to police documents, Conrad Murray alerted emergency services more than an hour after Michael suffered cardiac arrest. In documents police submitted as justification for the Las Vegas pharmacy inspection in August, it is stated that during questioning a few days after Michael’s death, Murray admitted that after injecting several sleeping drugs and at Michael’s insistence, he had injected him with the strong anesthetic propofol. It appears that Michael suffered cardiac arrest within 20 minutes of the propofol injection. After injecting him, Murray left Michael alone so he could go to the bathroom, and in doing so he neglected to monitor his patient’s condition.

According to Murray, he didn’t notify emergency services until 12:22 p.m.—meaning more than an hour after he realized Michael wasn’t breathing. From 11:18 to 12:05, Murray made three calls on his phone, and the total duration of his calls adds up to 47 minutes. But Murray says that during that same time he was busy performing CPR and artificial respiration on Michael. The documents state that during this time period, Conrad Murray did not inform the police while making phone calls. Police have not disclosed who Murray was speaking with during those 47 minutes. Investigators found at least 8 different bottles of medication next to the bed where Michael died, or in other places in the house. In their documents, police also point to Murray’s suspicious behavior when they were transferring Michael to the hospital. On that day, Murray was asked to sign the death certificate, but he disappears from the hospital. After the ambulance carrying Michael arrives at the hospital, neither the forensic medical investigators nor detectives can find any trace of Murray, and attempts to contact him fail. It is said that police decide on Conrad Murray’s arrest in early 2010. Source: eMJey / Yahoo News
