Michael's Doctor Waited 82 Minutes Before Calling 911

Michael Jackson
New details are emerging surrounding the death of Michael Jackson. According to a new police report, Michael's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray waited 82 minutes to call 911 after he realized Michael had stopped breathing.

Thanks to an unsealed search warrant in the ongoing manslaughter investigation into Michael's death, we have new details about Murray's suspicious behavior on the day of Michael's death.

Murray claims that after he gave Michael propofol on the day of his death, he stepped away for just two minutes to use the restroom and came back to find Michael not breathing.

In the last two months we've heard three different stories as to why Murray wasn't in the room with Michael. One story claims he stepped away to make a few personal calls, another one claims he went to go use the restroom, and the last story is that he fell asleep while monitoring Michael.

As Hollyscoop reported yesterday, on the morning Michael died, Murray gave him valium at 1:30 a.m. When that was unsuccessful, he injected lorazepam at 2 a.m. At 3 a.m., he gave Michael midazolam.

He continued to try different drugs over the course of the morning and finally at 10:40 a.m., Murray gave Michael 25 milligrams of propofol, down from his usual dosage of 50 milligrams, because he feared Michael was getting addicted.

After giving Michael the lethal dosage of propofol, he reportedly stepped out of the room. Police later obtained Murray's cell phone records, which revealed he was on the phone for 47 minutes, in three separate calls, beginning at 11:18 a.m., something he did not reveal to investigators, reports People magazine.

The reports suggest that Murray was either not administrating Michael like he should have, or he was making frantic calls after realizing Michael had stopped breathing.

One call he made was to his Houston office asking that 3-5 boxes full of medical records be cleared out of the office and placed at a storage facility. So instead of calling 911 and attempting to save Michael's life, he was looking out for himself and his practice.

When paramedics finally arrived at Michael's house around 12:30pm, Murray didn't tell them that he had given him propofol. Michael had already gone into cardiac arrest and was reportedly already dead by the time paramedics arrived.

This Murray character is sounding more and more guilty as the days go by. He's reportedly going to be charged with manslaughter in the next few weeks but detectives are still determining whether Michael died because of a single doctor, or the "grossly negligent treatment of several doctors" over time. More details coming soon...

Doctors are to help humanity not hinder it and enable addicts to feed thier addictions my mother had a friend that was addict to prescription drugs also mum took her to the doctors one time and she knew exactly what she wanted and it was not from the list of softer drugs the doctor was trying to prescribe and if the doctor got wind of her being an addict and refused her hard drugs she just moved on to the next doctor that didnt care about her eventually she died her body also couldnt take in the end

Hum...Sounds like a death/suicide wish to me. Inject me with sedatives and finally with an anesthesia to put me out of my misery and in misery he was. I do not believe that the doctor was negligent as much as he was following Michael's "orders." I believe Michael knew he was dying and wanted out of life and came to the realization that 50 concerts was more than he could handle. What was up with this: "This Is It." Michael should have gone to Dr. Kavorkian instead. If you want to die, state so legally. People have the right to die. Everyone is a victim in this story. Michael is worth more dead than alive. Rest In Peace, Michael

Dr. Murray told the "troot" and we all know that he has "fate" that the "troot" will come out!

Dr. Murray is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty! All of you bloodthirsty people need to take a step back and let justice take its course. If this sweet, kind gentle man were you, your friend or relative---you would not want him to be subjected to a speculation-ridden LYNCH MOB! BACK OFF!

The doctor has been a suspect since day 1 and deserves to be. Who cares if he fell asleep or made calls to protect his ass or that he was on the john. He's guilty. CASE CLOSED... FRY THE BASTARD AND JUST LET MJ FINALLY GET HIS WELL DESERVED REST!

That lying bastard!This is all his fault.

I feel sorry for MJ. Whatever happened.

they've got to blame someone, and the doc seems like the most likely suspect. But I'm having a hard time believing AEG would deliberately hire this guy, and that he would give MJ all those drugs knowing they could possibly kill him. After all, MJ was worth more alive.

Justice needs to be served by all parties guilty for this tragedy. And to those of you who think MJ needs to be left alone: Stop reading the stories and leaving comments.

Let's just hear the truth for once! If the doctor injected Michael with that many drugs, he's a raving lunatic and should be locked up for life.

I think this si just getting ridiculous now! The situation should be left alone!

I refuse to have any comment about this situation. Michael needs to be left alone and to RIP for him and his children.

What a mess....so many drugs during the course of hours. What can be said at this point. MJ was an addict...Murray is an inept doctor...That in itself was a lethal combination.

I'd like to see this Dr. die for his actions or non actions! Unfortunately this will not bring Michael back to us or his children. I wish there was a way to be able to achieve this type of miracle. The whole thing is tragic and horrible! I do believe though that more than one person was responsible for Michael's death! Just think about all who have profited from it since!!!!!!!
