The latest bombshell in the investigation of Michael Jackson’s final hours came when it was discovered that Dr. Conrad Murray delayed a call for help for over an hour when he discovered that Michael was no longer breathing.

In a document that police filed in support of their request to search a Las Vegas pharmacy in August, police say that the personal physician told authorities in interviews days after the death that he had administered propofol following many attempts at medicating Michael to induce sleep and following “repeated demands/requests for the powerful drug.

It appears that Michael went into cardiac arrest within 20 minutes of that injection while Murray stepped out to use the bathroom, failing to monitor his patient.

By Murray’s own admittance to police, he did not summon 911 assistance until 12:22, more than an hour after he realized Michael was not breathing.  Telephone records show that Murray made three different mobile calls for 47 minutes with three different callers from 11:18 to 12:05.  This was during the period in which Murray claims he was conducting CPR on Michael.

In the police document, it is stated that

“Murray did not mention this to the interviewing detectives.”

Police have not disclosed to whom they believe Murray spoke in those calls.

Investigators found pill bottles for at least eight different sedatives by Michael’s bed or in the home and, in following through on pharmacy warrants, have traced the origin of the propofol to a purchase made by Murray at Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas on May 12.

So far, Murray has not been charged with a crime.  However, details contained in the unsealed documents show that authorities were suspicious of his behavior even as they took Michael to UCLA Medical Center in attempts to revive him.  Murray was asked to sign the death certificate, but had vanished from the hospital premises.

“Upon arrival at UCLA Medical Center, neither the coroner’s investigators nor detectives could locate Murray to re-interview him,”

according to the documents, and repeated attempts to contact him were unsuccessful.
