Jermaine Jackson: ‘I wish it was me'

Michael’s brother reveals new details of death scene: ‘I kissed his forehead’
The scene is still fresh in Jermaine Jackson’s mind: his mother’s grief-choked voice on the phone telling him the awful news; rushing to UCLA Medical Center and seeing the helicopters hovering overhead; kissing his brother’s lifeless form; watching the three children of Michael Jackson being brought in with a therapist to stand by their father’s body.

“There is nothing to be compared to this, ’cause we lost our brother, our hero. The world is mourning. We are mourning. The fans are mourning. It is unreal. Unbelievable,” Jermaine Jackson told TODAY’s Matt Lauer in an exclusive interview recorded at the famous Neverland Ranch of the “King of Pop” — the first in-depth interview with any Jackson family member since the singer’s shocking death last week.

Michael Jackson had pulse when found

Michael Jackson still had a faint pulse and his body was warm when his doctor found him in bed and not breathing, a lawyer for Jackson's doctor said.

Edward Chernoff also said Dr. Conrad Murray never prescribed or gave Jackson the drugs Demerol or OxyContin. He denied reports suggesting Murray gave Jackson drugs that contributed to his death.

Chernoff said that Murray was at the pop icon's rented mansion on Thursday afternoon when he discovered Jackson in bed and not breathing. The doctor immediately began administering CPR, Chernoff said.

"He just happened to find him in his bed, and he wasn't breathing," the lawyer said. "Mr. Jackson was still warm and had a pulse."

Michael Jackson’s adrenalin shot

Michael Jackson’s personal doctor tried to save his life with a shot of adrenaline.

Dr Conrad Murray plunged a syringe into the pop star’s chest in a bid to revive him following ingesting a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs on Thursday (25.06.09).

The doctor - Jackson’s recently hired personal cardiologist - had hoped the shot would re-start his heart, but the star reportedly went into cardiac arrest before slipping into a coma, ad was later pronounced dead at a Los Angeles hospital.

Although an autopsy has ruled out foul play in Jackson’s death, Dr Murray was last night (27.06.09) being questioned by police over his actions following the star’s passing, and the pop king’s family has turned against him.


Although Dr Murray is not a suspect in the singer’s death - and police have made clear their investigation is not a criminal matter - Jackson’s family are demanding answers as to why the doctor “left” shortly after Jackson’s death.
