Murray Left Michael Alone to Collect the Medication Bottles

The Associated Press, using excerpts from documents it obtained, says that on the day of Michael’s death, Conrad Murray stopped providing artificial respiration and CPR and delayed calling emergency services so he would have time to gather the medication bottles from around Michael’s room. This report sheds some light on the mysterious and tragic death of the world’s music superstar. Perhaps this explosive claim—that Conrad Murray tried to hide the truth and evidence—could be the basis the prosecution board relies on in Michael Jackson’s murder case. The claim was made by Alberto Alvarez, one of the employees of Michael Jackson’s house who had been called to Michael’s bedside by Conrad Murray. His statements, as well as those of other Michael employees, paint a horrifying picture of Michael Jackson’s home on June 25 last year. Alvarez said that on that day, after being called to his boss’s room, he saw him lying in his bed with an IV connected to his leg. His mouth and eyes were open, and there was no sign of life in him. Murray frantically tried to give Michael mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and Alvarez simultaneously took over CPR. Michael’s children, 12-year-old Prince and 11-year-old Paris, entered the room and burst into tears when they saw Murray giving their father artificial respiration. The nurse then took the children out of the room and into a vehicle. The report says that after the official announcement of Michael’s death at a Los Angeles hospital, Murray insisted on going back to Michael’s home to “clean up the evidence and keep the world from knowing what happened.” Alvarez said that at 12:17 p.m. on June 25, he received a phone call from Williams, another Michael employee, saying that Murray had just informed him that something had happened to Michael. After Alvarez went into the room, he saw Murray massaging Michael’s heart with one hand. When Alvarez asked what happened, Murray said, “He reacted. He reacted badly.” Murray then picked up a number of medicine bottles and told Alvarez to put them into a bag. Alvarez picked up a plastic bag from the floor, and Murray put the bottles into it. Then Murray told Alvarez to put that bag into a brown canvas bag. Murray then asked Alvarez to remove the injection bag from where it was and put it into a blue canvas bag. Alvarez realized that the IV contained a milky white substance (propofol) connected to the bag. Alvarez did not say anything about what happened to these two bags or what substance was inside the medicine bottles. Two days after Michael’s death, officers finally managed to get something out of Murray’s mouth that had not been said before. Murray led the police to a hidden cabinet where the dangerous sedative propofol and other sleeping medications were stored in a bag. On the day of Michael’s death, Murray waited until he had filled his bags with the medicine bottles, and then told Alvarez to call emergency services. Alvarez told the emergency operator: “ I immediately need an ambulance. There’s a man here who needs help and isn’t breathing.” The operator then told him to place the patient from the bed onto the floor. At that moment, Muhammad Williams entered the room and began CPR on Michael, while Murray resumed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Murray told the two of them that it was the first time he was performing the resuscitation operation. Although Murray’s lawyer stated that his client had been in such situations many times and had experience performing these operations. According to Alvarez, it was only after these steps that Murray attached the pulse measuring device to the tip of Michael’s finger. Later, the police said they had found a device in Michael’s home that indicated heart rate and measured the amount of oxygen in the blood. At 12:27 p.m., the emergency doctors arrived at the house. At 12:29 p.m., the doctors found that Michael’s heart was not beating and that he wasn’t breathing. Murray said he could feel a weak pulse in the upper thigh area of Michael. The emergency doctors performed CPR fully twice, and since they got no results, they said they were ready to end the operation. But Murray, accepting responsibility, asked them to continue the operation inside the ambulance and on the way to the hospital. At 1:07 p.m., Michael was taken to Ronald Reagan Hospital, where doctors performed extensive procedures on him. But his death was officially announced at 2:26 p.m. and confirmed during a press conference by his brother Jermaine. After Michael’s death was announced, Muhammad Williams saw Murray crying. Williams says Murray asked him whether there was someone who could take him back to Michael’s home to pick up a “cream.” Williams told him that returning home wasn’t a good idea. Williams and Alvarez lied to Murray, telling him that the police had confiscated the car switches as part of the criminal investigation. Murray told them he would get a taxi and Williams saw him leave the hospital. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles prosecutor condemned the claim that reports published by the Associated Press had leaked from them, and said he didn’t know how the text of the testimony of Michael Jackson’s employees had reached this news agency. The spokesperson did not confirm the accuracy of this report. Source: eMJey / AP
