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).

Federal Agents raided Murray's home and offices in search for evidence on reckless administration of propofol which lead to manslaughter.

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.

Federal Agents raided Murray's home and offices in search for evidence on reckless administration of propofol which lead to manslaughter.

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.

Actress turned-writer Brooke Shields

Despite having dated several celebrities, Michael Jackson kept a close personal relationship with actress turned-writer, Brooke Shields. An upcoming issue of Rolling Stone magazine would be featuring Shields and her special connection with MJ. During the interview, Shields revealed her childish moments with Jackson and all the fun times they enjoyed in each other’s company. Shields admitted that their bond was really special that Michael had asked her to marry him several times probably out of fear of loosing their friendship.

As a quote from an article in The Daily Dish, Shields elaborated that

“There were times when he would ask me to marry him, and I would say, ‘You have me for the rest of your life, you don’t need to marry me, I’m going to go on and do my own life and have my own marriage and my own kids, and you’ll always have me’.” Shields says of her relationship to the one she called “her little prince” at Tuesday’s public memorial ceremony. Still, there was no romantic connection between them, the actress stresses. “I think it made him relax. He didn’t want to lose things that meant something to him.” she explains.

On another interview with she clearly stated that she and Michael were simply very good friends and nothing more. She mentioned MJ was interested in talking about the birds and the bees and asking childishly about what first base and second base meant with no intention of pursuing such things. Furthermore, she admitted that Michael became more asexual to her as they grew older.

These videos explain a lot about Michael Jackson. I have embedded 9 videos from YouTube that helps us understand more about the King of Pop. I didn’t really understand why Michael Jackson lived in a way that’s unorthodox for most of us until I saw this interview by Martin Bashir. I was totally shocked by Michael’s perception of a lot of things but I really don’t blame him. Though, he was tagged as the World’s Greatest Performer, he was not fortunate enough to have a normal childhood. Rest in Peace Michael Jackson! You truly are the World’s Greatest Performer!
