Michael Jackson’s Doctor Investigated
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and LAPD detectives searched the residence and office of Conrad Murray, each location a week apart. Murray is Michael Jackson’s doctor who is believed to have given Jackson a lethal dose of anesthetic Propofol.
Propofol is used to induce unconsciousness in patients ahead of major surgery. In hospitals, only a trained anesthesiologist is allowed to administer the drug under strict monitoring conditions.
TMZ.com reported that Murray had told police in an interview he gave Jackson Propofol via an intravenous drip. The website reported police believe Murray may have fallen asleep while the drug was being administered, and awoke to find the singer already dead.
If Murray did inject Jackson with Propofol negligently, he can be charged with homicide.
The federal agents and police came to his office a week earlier with a search warrant seeking evidence for the “offense of manslaughter”
The LA Coroner’s office reported that the toxicology result is due by the end of this week.
