realize there's something unusual here what 50 year old male would be laying in bed at noon with medical equipment we're not looking at the patient at that moment until my partner did he looked up and whispered the name michael jackson [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] yes sir i need to i i need an ambulance as soon as possible we have a gentleman here that needs help and he's not breathing you're talking about michael jackson here it was absolutely huge there was a lot of pressure to get it right this isn't a man who
should have died [Music] he's not breathing yeah he's not breathing and we need to we're trying to pump him but he's not he's okay okay he's uh 50 years old sir 50 okay he's unconscious he's not breathing yes he's not breathing when we were dispatched to a 50 year old male cardiac arrest we think this is a viable patient this is someone if we get to in a timely manner we can save and then when i enter this room opulent room with medical equipment in it i realized there's something unusual here what 50 year old
male would be laying in bed at noon with medical equipment we're not looking at the patient at that moment until my partner did he looked up and whispered the name michael jackson when i realized who it was i was surprised we had no idea he was there none of us had any idea who was living in our neighborhood did anybody witness what happened uh no just the doctor sir there was a man with our patient who identified himself as the doctor and as such i immediately asked him some information what had happened how long has
this been going on and he told me then that had just happened this was a patient to me that it seemed that he had not just passed away that some time had gone by before we were notified and in fact later when you're reflecting on this call the days the weeks the months afterwards one of the greatest regrets that all of us had was that we had not been called sooner [Music] when we came outside that's when we became aware of a very large presence we were trying to back out on the street only to
be hindered by many many cameramen putting their lenses against the glass windows of the moving ambulance [Music] people seem to forget or don't realize about this investigation it was a death investigation it really wasn't a crime at the time from the information that i had it was probably an accident or natural and we would find out that he had some pre-existing medical condition and then we would be done just look at what we knew in the first hours of this taken to the hospital there wasn't a bloody knife there wasn't a smoking gun there was
nothing on the surface that would lead anyone to believe anything nefarious had occurred when i arrived at the hospital dr barry was gone so he was no longer there at the scene we're a bit of a panic then the one person that was in a room with him at the time that everything happened is no longer at the hospital there were several attempts right away to get a hold of dr murray that were negative that he they were going to voicemail you have family members jackson family members coming in and people wanting some questions answered
as well as us it is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home a team of doctors including emergency physicians and cardiologists attempted to resuscitate him the emergency room physician they believed it was a heart attack partly because of what mr murray had told them never told them anything about any other narcotics or anything they just believed he had had a heart attack and stopped breathing [Music] so here we are at the carrollwood house [Music] that day by the time i got here we had to block off this side of the street the entrance side
of the street and it was full of media vans we had never seen anything like it i had never seen anything like it [Music] [Music] there was the room where dr murray treated mr jackson and then there was a locked room which was uh mr jackson's bedroom there's a fireplace in the room and it was roaring so the room was very very hot they were like post-it notes or pieces of paper taped all over the room on mirrors on doors with little slogans or phrases i don't know if they were lyrics or thoughts or some
of them seem like poems the bedroom was it was a mess [Music] in the room where he was being treated it did not seem like a room fit for any type of medical treatment not even like a home makeshift medical suite it was just bare bones i just remember going in there and there's an iv stand and a saline bag and just various medications strewn about there was a computer on the bed there was a lifelike doll on the bed and it's kind of like advertisements of pictures with babies everybody knew about the allegations that
had been leveled against mr jackson over the years one of the things when i saw the laptop on the bed do i go into it but you have to realize the type of case i was investigating when you get you know hold of an investigation you have to kind of whittle out what is and what isn't [Music] it's like with any case um you don't allow whatever the victim was into prior to his death your investigation is focused on how did he die and who was responsible for it in the room where he was being
treated a bottle of propofol had fallen on the ground and rolled under this moving nightstand i didn't know what it did that ended up being a huge deal later i had no medical background whatsoever my neighbor was a doctor so i went to my neighbor and i asked him about it and my neighbor was the one who got it started of whoa what is this doing here this is only used in surgeries this is used to put people under we had put it out in the press that we were looking for dr murray we still
didn't think that there was anything criminal going on the only thing that we knew was this surgery drug was at the location it shouldn't have been there the next day get a call his attorney has been in contact he consents to an interview so our plan was to let him talk and uh that's what we did so um [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay we didn't know what happened we didn't want to assume anything and we wanted to give the doctor an opportunity to dig his own hole if that was the case it was just you and
michael he was really not some of this okay and this night it was you just you and just myself and he proceeded to tell us that you know michael just couldn't sleep he was just so amped up about this upcoming concert he by nature had a hard time sleeping he gave him some drugs some valium lorazepam and diazepam and a few others to try and calm michael to try and get him to rest to fall asleep and nothing works he was wide awake i said do you feel a little bit drowsy do you think you
if my eyes are telling you want to sleep i said no dr murray says you know after trying all these various things nothing was working and it's in the early morning hours and the next day and uh so finally i just gave michael his milk and that time he said i'd like to have some milk no hot cold milk what are we talking about he says oh well that's it's a medication does the medication have a name he says well it's propofol and this was again a big revelation during this interview that propofols mentioned and
what is this it is a sedative that could also be used for anesthesia he freely admits that for months he's been using this to help mr jackson sleep okay you've administered it more than 10 times yes more than 20 times 30 days a month roughly every day oh such a bad daily a daily in my head i was thinking what the heck to drug someone to sleep even with their permission the way that he did i didn't think it was legal i'm monitored i've been a watcher for long enough period that i felt comfortable he
gave him propofol and then goes to the bathroom comes back mr jackson's not breathing so i started immediately to perform cpr and multi-mode resuscitation he goes into a panic he tries cpr why michael's on the bed he summons alberto alvarez the head of security and ultimately alberto alvarez is on one of calls 9-1-1 when we reviewed the cctv at the mansion we saw that he carried in a bag with him and also the family and the security staff told us he would always carry a bag with him when he went to the hospital he did
not have the bag with it the biggest aha moment was when i had asked dr murray where his bags were where where's your bag with where those syringes would be at now oh really i thought you left it there he was assuming that we had it you haven't got my bags once he realized we didn't have that he's like you know deer in the headlights look if you will you know legally we can search the areas that are relevant it wasn't in the room that was relevant if you walk into the dressing room and you
turn right with the high level top the the bands left there with the items on it you know in those moments people aren't their sharpest they're not thinking the best so it's our job to take those little mistakes that people make and build a case on them went by and we kept asking when are we going to hear from toxicology when are we going to hear we had a death but we didn't have a criminal death yet
