Investigation into Michael Jackson’s Death Continues

The ongoing saga surrounding the death of Michael Jackson on June 25 continues with his doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray’s home and office being searched on Tuesday as part of the manslaughter investigation.

Murray’s lawyer confirmed the news in a statement saying “We can verify that at approximately 8 a.m., officers from DEA, LAPD and various local agencies began executing a search warrant at Dr. Conrad Murray’s Las Vegas home and office. The search warrant authorized investigators to look for medical records relating to Michael Jackson and all of his reported aliases. Dr. Murray was present during the search of his home and assisted the officers. Investigators left Dr. Murray’s home around noon, seizing cell phones and a computer hard drive. As of 2 p.m., the search at Dr. Murray’s office continues.”

Murray is cooperating fully and hasn’t been charged with anything yet but it is suspected that he administered the lethal dose of a drug called Propofol which is believed to have caused Jackson’s cardiac arrest.

Jackson had apparently been taking Propofol regularly for over two years; the doctor(s) would administer the drug through an IV when Jackson went to sleep and remove the IV when he wanted to wake up.

Autopsy results still haven’t been released but are expected within the next few days.
