Jacko Doc ‘Stopped CPR To Hide Drugs’

Michael Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray allegedly stopped performing CPR on the singer so he could hide the drugs he’s been using - according to claims made yesterday.

A leaked statement by Jackson’s aide Alberto Alvarez claims Conrad Murray, who was the singer’s personal physician, collected vials of medicine from his bedroom and delayed calling emergency services on the day Jackson died last year. 

In February this year Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter after the post mortem revealed Jackson had high levels of the anaesthetic propofol in his system when he died.

Lawyers acting for Murray have dismissed Alvarez’ statement saying, “This statement was given more than two months after Michael Jackson's death and is inconsistent with a statement he (Alvarez) gave the police the day after Mr Jackson was taken to the hospital.”
