Michael Jackson's doctor found


Michael Jackson's doctor found

Dr Conrad Murray, who was present at the time of Michael Jackson's death and had gone missing since Friday, has been located.

The Los Angeles Police Department's Charles Beck said the doctor was located and that he was co-operating with them in the investigations.

Dr Murray was present at Micheal Jackson's house when the 911 emergency call was made.

While the exact circumstances of his death remained unclear, early clues suggested he may simply have pushed his heart too far.

Earlier, the police said they had towed the doctor's BMW from Jackson's home because it might include medication or other evidence, and a source familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that a heart attack appeared to have caused the cardiac arrest that led to the pop icon's sudden death.

As grief over the King of Pop's death poured out from the icons of music and heartbroken fans, and the world came to grips with losing one of the most luminous celebrities of all time, an autopsy showed no sign of trauma or foul play to Jackson, who died at UCLA Medical Center after paramedics could not revive him.

The AP source who said Jackson apparently suffered a heart attack was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity. Jackson's brother Jermaine had said the pop singer apparently went into cardiac arrest - which often, but not always, happens because of a heart attack.

Police had earlier stressed that Dr Murray, a cardiologist, was not a criminal suspect. "We think that he will assist us in coming to the truth of the facts in this case," Beck had said.

The president of the company promoting Jackson's shows said Murray was Jackson's personal physician for three years. Jackson insisted Murray accompany him to London, said Randy Phillips, President of AEG Live.

Phillips quoted Jackson as saying: "Look, this whole business revolves around me. I'm a machine, and we have to keep the machine well-oiled." Phillips said Jackson submitted to at least five hours of physicals that insurers had insisted on.

On Friday, the autopsy was completed in a matter of hours, but it could take up to six weeks to infer an official cause of death while medical examiners await toxicology tests. No funeral plans had been made public.

Jackson had remained out of the public spotlight during intense rehearsals for the London concerts, but those with access said he was upbeat and seemingly energized by his planned comeback.

The worldwide wave of mourning for Jackson continued unabated for the man who revolutionized pop music and moonwalked his way into entertainmentlegend. (With AP inputs)
