Conrad Murray Breaks Silence -- Reveals Michael Jackson's Last Words

In the days since his guilty verdict in the Michael Jackson manslaughter trial, Dr. Conrad Murray has remained oddly silent. So many questions linger about the physicians mindset on the fateful afternoon of MJ's death and the exact nature of Murray and Jackson's relationship. But all that is about to change with the announcement that MSNBC is planning to air the special, 'Michael Jackson and The Doctor: A Fatal Friendship' this Friday (Nov. 11) at 10 p.m., Eastern time.

According to The Daily Mail, the documentary began filming in November 2009, five months after MJ's death in June, and features a series of exclusive interviews with the doctor. In one chilling moment, Murray describes the last minutes of Michael's life, and the alleged last words of the musical idol.

"He was pleading and begging to please please let him have some milk because that was the only thing that would work,' said Murray, referring to propofol, the anaesthetic that Michael eventually overdosed on.

Defending his dosing strategy of the lethal prescription, Murray claims: "He [Michael] really could not sleep. Have you ever seen the 'Thriller' image when he was made up? He looked that hysterical."

Sadly, that final dose proved to be a huge misstep, as the doctor described the scene after Michael lost consciousness. "I told security to get the kids away from there, get the kids away because I did not want them to see their father getting CPR," says Murray. "And he (the security guard) says, 'Doctor, doctor, what happened?' I need help! I'm doing CPR, Mr Jackson's not breathing! Call 911! I need you to call 911!"

The now-disgraced doctor goes on to describe his loving relationship with MJ, perhaps in an attempt to downplay his role in the King of Pop's death. "He [Jackson] said of all my life I have found one friend, which is you, Dr Conrad. He had a dad who never hugged him, never hugged his own children. He lived a life greater than 100 years of pain, only human on Earth.' says Murray.

Currently, Jackson's private physician is being held in solitary confinement in the medical wing of Los Angeles County Jail due of fears he could be targeted by other inmates. There are also reports Murray has been under suicide watch since the guilty verdict came in. He'll return to court on November 29 for sentencing. In the meantime, TMZ is reporting today that MJ's death bed is going up for auction on Dec. 17.

Murray is a liar. I don't believe for a moment that those were MIchael's last words. Murray just made that up to make Jackson look weak and pathetic, and make himself out to be the victim.

Adminisitering propofol is well within Dr Murray's scope of practice as a cardiologist providing he had the appropriate monitoring and emergency equipment regardless of the setting. I did not follow the trial so I do not know the details but I could tell his defense strategy was not a good one to begin with.
That said, in a study by the FDA that evaluated reports of fatal medication errors from 1993 to 1998, the most common error involving medications was related to administration of an improper dose of medicine, accounting for 41% of fatal medication errors. I wanted to point this out because M J death occured because of a overdose...improper dose of propofol. If this had occured in a hospital setting or clinic etc, who would be charged? Maybe the family should have file a law suuit against him. That is what families usually do in a wrongful death when it occurs in a hospital. Fact is, sadly many patients die from overdose in a hospital setting all the time. Especially old people. These doses are usually ordered by MDs and administered by nurses. How this any different? Just the setting was different. Oh yeah and it was the most famous Pop Star in the world. Dr Murray is guilty of poor judgement. He will have to live with his bad decision for the rest of life. He will be always known as the MD that killed MJ. He would probable loose his practice....if not his license. That would be punishment enough.It seems to me if the Medical Board did not revoke his license yet they didnot think he was negligent. I am sure MJ knew the risk associated with using propofol, just as patients who have elective surgery for cosmetic purposes and end with complications, even death and then want to file suit against the MD.
I feel bad for Dr Murray because his life is over and I am sure is was good person that made bad choice and MJ because even with all the resources he had , he could not seek proper care and had to take such drastic steps to get a good night sleep. RIP Michael. Love Yah.

Dr. Murray, an educated professional in the field of medicine, has no defense for his actions. However, Michael Jackson invited death daily by his use of drugs. Any member of the Jackson family who claims they loved him and tried to help him or are upset by his death are liars, hypocrites, and publicity grabbers. They should board up the windows of their homes and hide from the public for the rest of their lives. This is the most dysfuncitional group of people to ever call themselves a family. Michael Jackson becoming a "parent" makes a mockery of the word.

I was the biggest MJ FAN on the planet back in the early to mid eighties but who wasnt, that was his hey day.. too bad that america has lost a pop icon/music superstar and the world has lost a true humanitarian. This is an example of what happens when your surrounded by a bubble of "YES MEN" I know from experience that people will say and do anything to get close to you when your famous or a "hot commodity". You cant stay grounded in reality if you dont surround yourself with people who truly care about you and have your best interests at heart. Michael kept most of his family at arms length for years and that was a major contribution to his own undoing, he had trust issues of course when it came to even them. So sad that at 50 yrs of age the only person he confided in was a doctor that cared more about driving his bmw and shopping at abercrombie and fitch than seeking treatment for his drug addicted tortured soul. How do u do an intervention on the most famous music superstar known to walk the planet so far? I dont know but his family will be asking themselves why they didnt for decades to come. Mike is moonwalking through the gates of heaven now.

I wouldnt beleive not a single word Murray says . He did not even have the decency to reveal to the ambulance crew or emergency room staff that he had been given a dangerous drug . He thought hiding that fact would keep him out of trouble, and that too backfired on him because he is a blooming idiot.

"Why?" Ummm...yeah...WHY did I watch any of this video? If he had not died, this song would never have been heard by a fraction of the people. Pedestrian effort at best, and the video?...well...so very very "gay." Even the girl looks like a boy. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but if you are trying to dispel rumors, you don't put out a video like this. Face it, Jackson was a freak, and like Elvis, was on the shelf just a little past his sell-by date.
