Audio: 911 Call from Jackson Home, Doctor Questioned
For those curious, here is the raw audio from the 911 call placed from the home of Michael Jackson. He was unresponsive before paramedics arrived.
The personal doctor caring for Michael Jackson has returned to L.A. to speak with police as his medical treatment is at the center of the LAPD investigation.
Police investigating Michael Jackson’s death looked into his medical treatment Friday, seeking to interview one of the pop king’s doctors and seizing a car that they said may contain drugs or other evidence.
As medical examiners began an autopsy for Jackson, police towed a BMW from Jackson’s rented home “because it may contain medications or other evidence that may assist the coroner in determining the cause of death,” police spokeswoman Karen Rayner said.
She said the car belongs to one of Jackson’s doctors whom police wanted to interview. Rayner stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation.
The Los Angeles Times has identified the physician as Dr. Conrad Murray, 51, a Las Vegas cardiologist, and reports that Murray was administering CPR to Jackson when paramedics arrived.
A woman who answered the phone Friday at Murray’s clinic in Houston confirmed to The Associated Press that Murray was Jackson’s cardiologist. The woman, who refused to give her name, would not confirm the Los Angeles Times report that Murray performed CPR on Jackson.
The Los Angeles Times cites other published reports saying Jackson had received a shot of Demerol before going into cardiac arrest.
The Texas State Board of Medical Examiners Web site shows no complaints filed against Murray in the four years he’s been a licensed cardiologist in Texas.
The autopsy began Friday morning and was expected to last several hours. An official determination on cause of death was not expected for weeks or longer, until more sophisticated tests are completed.
