Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal physician says he administered propofol the night Jackson died.
Yesterday Federal agents were seen searching the home and office of Doctor Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson’s personal physician. Authorities are trying to find evidence that would prove Murray’s act of administering the powerful anaesthetic eventually led to Jackson’s untimely death. Since cases involving a doctor guilty for a patient’s death comes rarely. Authorities would have to find evidence showing reckless action that lead to death.
A law enforcement official told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity that Murray told investigators he administered the anaesthetic propofol the night Jackson died to help him sleep. The official also informed Associated Pres that the doctor left Jackson’s bedroom and returned to find that he was no longer breathing. It’s still unclear how long Murray was out of the room. The official stated further that investigators are working under the theory that the anaesthetic caused the King of Pop’s heart to stop and that toxicology reports that should show what killed him are expected as early as this week (credit: Associated Press).

According to an article by the Associated Press, after three hours of searching Murray’s home in a private gated community, Los Angeles police and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents carried away five or six plastic storage containers and several thick manila envelopes. Murray’s medical offices namely the Global Cardiovascular Associates Inc. were also searched by authorities.
Murray’s lawyer, Edward Chernoff, stated that the sealed search warrant “authorized investigators to look for medical records relating to Michael Jackson and all of his reported aliases.”
Other than documents, authorities also seized Murray’s cell phones and a computer hard drive at Murray’s home.
According to the American Society of Anaesthesiologists, home use of propofol is virtually unheard of and if Jackson’s doctor left his side during the sedation then he would have violated guidelines for the safe use of the drug. The guidelines state that a physician should be physically present throughout the sedation and remain immediately available until the patient is medically discharged from the post procedure recovery area.
Murray, 51, a licensed doctor in California, Nevada and Texas became Jackson’s personal physician in May. Murray was staying with Jackson in his rented Los Angeles mansion. Chernoff stated that Murray discovered Jackson unconscious in his bedroom the morning of June 25. Murray tried to revive Jackson, when this failed; the paramedics were called after half an hour. Three minutes later, the paramedics arrived and spent another 42 minutes trying to revive Jackson before finally taking him to a nearby UCLA Medical Centre where he was pronounced dead.

Michael Jackson was believed to have been using the anaesthetic propofol about two years. According to Associate Press, Jackson’s medical history is quite complex that investigators are trying to determine how many other doctors administered the drug to Jackson. Murray claims he administered the drug several times before.
During their search, Murray directed investigators to a closet in the room where Jackson slept and found enough propofol and sedatives to fill two gym bags and an IV line and oxygen which would be needed for the administration of the drug.
