A lawyer for Michael Jackson's personal physician tells the Los Angeles Times that reports that the singer was injected with Demerol just before his death last Thursday are "absolutely false." "There was no Demerol. No OxyContin," Edward Chernoff, attorney for Dr. Conrad Murray, told The Times. Chernoff says Jackson wasn't breathing and had a weak pulse when Murray found the singer in bed in his Holmby Hills mansion, so the doctor began administering CPR. Chernoff was present during the LAPD's three-hour interview with Murray on Saturday. Investigators say the doctor is in no way a suspect and told the L.A. Times that reports that Jackson was injected with Demerol or other painkillers are coming from outside the investigation. Chernoff says Murray will wait until the investigation is complete before speaking publicly about the tragedy.

Doc, The world is waiting to find out why you perform CPR on someone in a bed, why you disappeared for 24 hours, and why it’s necessary for you, a cardiologist to be living with Michael, who hired you? Something is rotten here…
Hey Doc, how about you make some statements of your own for once? Using your lawyer to speak for you sounds like someone who has something to hide. If you aren’t guilty of anything, then come out and speak for yourself, you coward.
What kind of doctor would do CPR on a bed instead of a hard surface, I don’t care how firm the bed is ,that is not how it is done. And why would any physician abandon a patient at anytime when he is in distress and not accompany them to the hospital.. We are not as stupid as you think we are. If he was indeed a certified heart specialist where was a Defibrillator. It is shady. I live in houston and I heard that the clinic where the doctor pratice, the employees checks bounced several times at one of the neighborhood stores.
yes that is right how can you perform cpr on a bed . that is so wrong
I heard the Doctor placed one hand behind Michael’s back instead of placing him on the floor since Michael was frail. LOOK….80 YEAR OLD LADIES ARE PLACED ON THE FLOOR IN A CARDIAC ARREST YOU IDIOT! The doctor MUST follow CPR GUIDELINES OF THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOC…NOT RE-WRITE THE TECHNIQUE IN ONE ARM BANDIT STYLE.
IT DOESN’T SAY HE PREFORMED CPR IN BED, HE WAS FOUND IN BED, NO ONE KNOWS WHERE CPR STARTED IN BED OR THE FLOOR. MICHAEL WOULDN’T WANT ANYONE TO FALSLY ACCUSED,
“using CPR in bed is useless.” Dr.Murray already knew the proper guidelines in doing the CPR.common sense “bed is a soft surface”. All clinical instructors in both medicine and nursing field instructed the students to stay at patient’s bedside, then why Dr.Murray left Michael Jackson alone at michael’s mansion?Be careful Dr.Murray in defending yourself about the death of Michael Jackson because “ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN VOICE”
Did any little boys run out of his bed when they were performing CPR??
hey stop looking down on people all of you are not perfect… sure you all have things that you have been hiding and you cant believe all that crazy stuff from the media… you people are stupid and will make anything out of something. worry about yourself and forget the rest then the world will be a happier place
