Conrad Murray claims he had nothing to do with Michael Jackson's death
Published November 24, 2013
FoxNews.com

Conrad Murray (Conman, liar, Murderer), the disgraced doctor who tended to Michael Jackson is adamant that he had nothing to do with the pop star’s death. He claims that the singer administered drugs by himself and that was what killed him.

‘I did not kill Michael Jackson. He was a drug addict,” he told The Mail on Sunday, “Michael Jackson accidentally killed Michael Jackson.’

The heart surgeon was charged with administering a lethal injection of the anaesthetic Propofol. He was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, had his medical license revoked, sentenced to four years in jail, of which he served half and was released three weeks ago.

“I never gave Michael anything that would kill him,” he claims. “I loved him. I still do. I always will. There’s a void in my heart, a lingering pain. I miss him every day.’

Murray, 60, says that the two had an extraordinarily close relationship, that Jackson loved him like a brother and called him a member of his own family.

‘You want to know how close we were? I held his penis every night to fit a catheter because he was incontinent at night,” he asserted. “Michael trusted no one. The bed chamber smelled because he did not even let maids in there to clean it. There were clothes strewn everywhere.”

The Trinidad born physician alleges that the pop superstar was in a terribly tenuous state at the end of his life, suffering from chills and insomnia.

‘Michael was a decrepit man. He was frail. I had to force him to eat, to drink fluids. He always ate the same meal: rice and chicken,” he recalls. ‘He was under enormous pressure. The children told him they were tired of living in hotels and rented places, but Michael was broke.”

Murray’s life is vastly different now. He is forced to travel with bodyguards because of death threats from Jackson fans who have dubbed him Dr Death and Conrad Murderer.

The doctor convicted of killing Michael Jackson has spoken out for the first time to try to clear his name - and claims the superstar died of an accidental overdose.

Dr Conrad Murray told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I did not kill Michael Jackson. He was a drug addict. Michael Jackson accidentally killed Michael Jackson.’

The 60-year-old heart surgeon - released from prison three weeks ago, having served half of his four-year sentence for involuntary manslaughter – began working for Jackson in 2006

But it was not until he went to help him prepare for his This Is It come-back tour in 2009 that he saw the devastation of his life.

‘He was in crisis at the end of his life, filled with panic and misery,’ he said.

'By the end Michael Jackson was a broken man. I tried to protect him but instead I was brought down with him.’

Murray claims Jackson had been dragged ‘into the abyss’ of physical and mental anguish by the pressures of the tour.

He claims he lived in a state of paranoia and filth: maids were not even allowed to take his underwear to be laundered because he feared they would sell it.

Murray insists he was one of the few people the superstar trusted. ‘You want to know how close we were? I held his penis every night to fit a catheter because he was incontinent at night.’

The doctor said Jackson’ 5’11” frame had wasted to little over nine stone, he was suffering from chills, insomnia and mood swings and he was dependent on the prescription drug propofol to help him sleep.

Murray claims he had ‘weaned’ Jackson off the drug the singer called ‘milk’ only days before his death on June 25, 2009.

He believes his insomnia that night was due to withdrawal symptoms from another drug, Demerol, an analgesic better known as pethidine, which had been provided by another doctor without his knowledge.

In a claim, made for the first time, Murray insists that while he was out of the room Jackson got up and injected himself with a lethal dose of propofol after Murray had refused to give him the amount he wanted.

The heart surgeon claims he did everything he could to save Jackson. Whether or not you believe him, he has clearly convinced himself.

He says the singer had told him shortly before his death that their names would become ‘inseparable.’ When Murray asked him what he meant ‘he smiled and said: ‘I am clairvoyant.’

Murray has filed an appeal against his conviction.

Michael Jackson - Conrad Murray Blames Michael Jackson For Overdose
by WENN | 24 November 2013

Michael Jackson's personal doctor Conrad Murray has sensationally alleged the pop icon overdosed on drugs by secretly injecting himself.

The medic was sentenced to four years for the involuntary manslaughter of the King of Pop, and he was released from prison last month (Oct13) after serving half his sentence.

Jackson died in June, 2009 from an overdose of anaesthetic Propofol and Murray was convicted of administering the fatal dose - but in his first interview since being freed, Murray insists Jackson was responsible for the tragedy.

Murray, who did not testify in his criminal trial, alleges the singer was already addicted to painkiller Demerol when they met, and believes on the night of his death Jackson gave himself a second injection after his personal physician had left his bedroom.

Murray tells British newspaper The Mail on Sunday, "I never gave Michael anything that would kill him. I loved him. I still do. I always will... I did not kill Michael Jackson. He was a drug addict. Michael Jackson accidentally killed Michael Jackson...

"I had no idea Michael was getting Demerol, which he had grown to love over several decades. I've used Demerol in the emergency room. The maximum is 75mg that I would use. Michael was receiving as much as 300mg several times a week.

"That night he just couldn't sleep. I prescribed him drugs to help, including Valium and Lorazepam, but he was begging, pleading, close to tears... I told him, 'This is not normal. What I've given you would put an elephant to sleep'.

"In the other bedroom, the police found an open bottle of Lorazepam. They found tablets in his stomach. I didn't give him those. Michael took extra tablets. And he injected himself...

"I believe he woke up (after I left the room), got hold of his own stash of Propofol and injected himself. He did it too quickly and went into cardiac arrest."

Murray also supports rumours Jackson was exhausted by rehearsals for his doomed This Is It comeback shows in the weeks before his death and was too frail to perform.

He adds, "Michael was a decrepit man. He was frail. I had to force him to eat, to drink fluids... He was under enormous pressure... By the end, Michael Jackson was a broken man. I tried to protect him but instead I was brought down with him."

Michael Jackson's death was an accident, says Conrad Murray

THE DOCTOR convicted of pop superstar Michael Jackson's death still refuses to take any responsibility.

"Nothing that I gave Michael Jackson should have killed him," Conrad Murray told Channel 9's 60 Minutes in his first full-length interview, which aired on Sunday night.

Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter over Jackson's death and spent two years in jail.

But Murray, who was hired to ensure Jackson maintained good health for his final concert tour, remains resolute.

"I am saying Michael Jackson died, unfortunately, from an accident, based upon his actions," Murray said.

"I was not present when Michael Jackson took matters in his own hands. Michael Jackson, as you have realised now, is a drug addict.

"I did not kill Michael Jackson, I met Michael Jackson in his state, lifeless or not, I met him in a state that all I did was my best to help and revive him."

Murray was found guilty of injecting the singer with an overdose of Propofol that killed him on June 25, 2009.

Conrad Murray has told 60 Minutes he is not to blame for Michael Jackson's death.

Propofol is a sedative usually used in surgery.

Murray had given the drug to Jackson to help him sleep.

But he says the King of Pop administered the drug to himself.

Murray said that on June 25, Jackson was unable to sleep and begged for Propofol.

"He said to me, 'if I don't go to rehearsal I'm going to lose everything'. I was already informed that Michael Jackson was over $40 million in the hole and climbing.

"When I saw how desperate he was and I knew how much of a destitute he was, what he was facing if he did not do this, it all again, fell on my heart."

He claimed to have given Jackson a small amount of Propofol and left the room for a short amount of time.

Murray said he did not agree with Jackson using such a powerful sedative and had told him he had to get off it.

"Michael Jackson is not a guy you can just say 'stop it'," Murray said.

"Michael Jackson had a lot of doctors who treated him with Propofol. Conrad Murray was a doctor that treated Michael with Propofol but with the intention of getting Michael to understand 'I do not want you using this substance again' and I succeeded."

Murray claimed he did his best to save Michael Jackson.

"I love Michael. I love Michael Jackson, I love him," he said.

"I was his closest friend.

"You see, I was Michael's doctor, but I spent more time with him as a friend than taking care of him medically.

Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray claims the pop superstar administered Propofol himself

"I love Michael, I will mourn his loss forever. I am so sad that he's not here."

Murray was not prepared to be drawn on the question of whether Jackson was a pedophile.

He said earlier: "Michael is not a perfect man by far. Michael has a huge dark shadow. Michael slept with dolls, yes. Is that normal? No, it's not normal. But if you understood the history of Michael as a child and the things that he has encountered in life and you're willing to listen, you probably wouldn't judge him."

He said a recording of Jackson slurring his speech was not intended to be used to blackmail him. "If I want to blackmail Michael Jackson it wouldn't take that phone call, it would be far worse than that, it would shatter the world," Murray said.

The Sunday Herald Sun reported that the interview had made the Jackson family "sick to the pits of their stomach".

It has been reported that 60 Minutes paid Murray a ­six-figure sum, but a source said the figure was "nowhere near six figures".

Murray is appealing his conviction.

Conrad Murray - Conrad Murray: Michael Jackson was incontinent
by Bang Showbiz | 24 November 2013

Michael Jackson's former personal physician claims he was so close to the star, he ''held his penis'' every night to fit a catheter.

Conrad Murray claims he ''held Michael Jackson's penis every night''.

The disgraced physician - who left jail in October after serving two years of a four-year sentence for the involuntary manslaughter of the King of Pop in 2009 - claims the late star was incontinent at night and he had to fit a catheter before he went to bed.

He said: ''He wore dark trousers all the time because after he went to the toilet he would drip for hours.

'You want to know how close Michael and I were? I held his penis every night. I had to put a condom catheter on him because Michael dripped urine. He had a loss of sensation and was incontinent.

''Michael didn't know how to put a condom on, so I had to do it for him.''

Murray claimed he and the 'Thriller' star were so close, the singer confided that none of his three children - Prince Michael, 16, and Paris, 15, whose mother was Michael's ex-wife Debbie Rowe, and 12-year-old Blanket, whose mum is unknown - were biologically his.

He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: ''Michael told me he never slept with Debbie Rowe. We joked that neither of us would want to have sex with her.

''He chose friends or business colleagues to help him. He told me he wanted to sever any genetic link to his family.''

Asked about actor Mark Lester's claims that he fathered at least one of the children, he added: ''I will not talk about this. If the children want to know, I will tell them.

''There are some secrets I will take to my grave.''

Conrad Murray - Conrad Murray says he and Michael Jackson were like 'brothers'
by Bang Showbiz | 24 November 2013

Disgraced doctor Conrad Murray has insisted he and the Michael Jackson were like ''family'', and has claimed he didn't kill the star, despite being charged with involuntary manslaughter over the singer's death in 2009.

Conrad Murray has denied killing Michael Jackson and says they were like ''family''.

The disgraced former doctor - the 'Thriller' hitmaker's private physician who was charged with involuntary manslaughter when the singer died in 2009 - has claimed he and the late star were like ''brothers''.

He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper that Michael had held his hand and said: ''There are only four people in my family now. Paris, Prince, Blanket and you, Dr Conrad.''

Conrad added: ''[It was] one of the happiest days of my life. This man who had been so lonely, who had spent so many long nights telling me about his pain and anguish, finally felt he could trust someone in his life apart from his children.

''We were family. We loved each other as brothers.''

He has also insisted he did not kill the iconic singer, instead claiming he overdosed himself on propofol as he was suffering from insomnia, which Conrad claims could have been because of withdrawals from demoral, which he was apparently given by another doctor.

He said: ''I never gave Michael anything that would kill him. I loved him. I still do. I always will ... That night he just couldn't sleep.

''I prescribed him drugs to help, including valium and lorazepam, but he was begging, pleading ... I told him, 'This is not normal. What I've given you would put an elephant to sleep'.

''In the other bedroom [Michael's private chamber], the police found an open bottle of lorazepam. They found tablets in his stomach. I didn't give him those. Michael took extra tablets. And he injected himself.''

Transcript: Conrad Murray DaybreakITV Interview Part 1


Int: Conrad Murray served two years of a four year sentence. He joins us now live from the USA. You do honestly believe Mr. Murray that you did all that you could to save Michael Jackson, he was a very vulnerable and fragile patient, do you think you did all that you could?

CM: Yes I did.

Int: You do, you think… because really he trusted you, didn’t he? He trusted you and why didn’t you call the Emergency Services right away?

CM: I am a clinical specialist, I am clinically trained in medicine of the highest level as a specialist as well as a sub-specialist and therefore that is my forte, reviving patients who are requires (sic) resuscitation is what I do. So if I stumble upon someone in need of that type of resuscitative effort then I will go straight in to that mode to try and help.

Int: So you honestly believe that you took proper care, at the time Michael Jackson was in your care, that you took proper care of him.

CM: Just absolutely.

Int: Do you feel any remorse or feel guilty about what happened to him?

CM: I feel very sorry that Michael is dead, there’s no doubt about it. It is a loss I will never recover from, but as far as having remorse from doing something wrong, I did not do anything wrong. Actually, I am an innocent man who was persecuted to the maximum, sent to jail, and has been demoralized over years as far as, you know, being harshly persecuted in every possible way that I can think, but despite the pain and suffering I have felt I carry no grudges, I’m not in any way looking to avenge what has happened to me. I would like to have my story, hopefully on adversity I’ve encountered be used well so that I can save the lives of many.

Int: You talk about your pain and suffering. What about the suffering of Michael Jackson’s family, especially his children and his fans. I mean his family, they were traumatized by this and as were his fans too. Don’t you… I mean you talk about your suffering but what about theirs?

CM: I am very, very sad about Michael’s children, there is no question about it. You know I remember Michael’s daughter, Paris was telling me that she didn’t want to be an orphan. I was close to those children as a parent can be.

Int: You’re not close to them now though? You’re not close to them now surely? Not in anyway at all, they want you to go away really, I mean they’ve actually said that. They would actually like you to leave the United States and to be quiet.

CM: Well you know I can tell you this. The Jackson’s have caused so much damage to their own son, and if you are a person that is impartial and if you understand Michael - Michael has been devastated through the years by his own family. Michael severed all ties with every member of his relatives before he died. Now you don’t know that because you were not that close to him but clearly I do because I was right in his presence when he made some statements. There was no communication whatsoever.

Int: Well his family aren’t here to actually rebut these allegations they you’re making but clearly what you’re saying… You’re saying you are an innocent man, the jury didn’t agree. You went to jail, you were convicted and you went to jail and yet you sit here still maintaining your innocence.

CM: Absolutely. Have you ever seen innocent men that have been incarcerated and have then found out that an error was made and they finally are released. I’m a man who has been persecuted to the extent. At this time, up until now, I have been blamed by a key witness Dr. Shafer, who states that there was Propofol and in Propofol there was Lidocaine, and although he makes the claim, they have refused my defense team and or myself, despite all of our efforts to test the substance to further show that there is no Propofol that is left in Mr. Jackson, there’s no Lidocaine, there was no infusion. The evidence was very clear. There was no evidence of Propofol in the bag, in the line that should have been attached to the patient, none of that. It was not there. The evidence does not support that.

Int: Well that’s what you are saying, again I say to you the jury did not agree with you and that’s why you went to jail and if you’re saying you had nothing to do with it then why did Michael Jackson die? What happened?

CM: Michael Jackson? I met Michael Jackson in a state of distress. Michael Jackson was basically lifeless. I was not there, you know my arms could only stretch so far, I was not even present in his bedroom…

Int: Why weren’t you present? Why weren’t you there and what were you doing rather than attending your patient?

CM: There was no reason for me to attend to Mr. Jackson any further. Mr. Jackson was given a small dose of Propofol around 10:40 in the morning. I did not leave his bedside until about 11:20 - 11:25. The effects of Propofol are completely gone within 15 minutes of administration. He had no issues, I didn’t even expect Mr. Jackson to be sedated and to fall asleep with such a minuscule dose of Propofol. But in my absence, after leaving his bedside when the effects of Propofol was gone way beyond the 15 minutes, I was not on the phone you can also look at the phone records that they gave me. The last phone call I made ended was at 10:43. At 11:07 there was a one minute call that came in that was a voice mail call and the next time I used my phone was 11:20 - 11:25, I moved from his bedside only so I do not disturb him, but this was a man after nine hours of no sleep umm I wanted him to get some rest if it was possible.

Int: I find it absolutely astonishing that someone is being given a powerful drug like that, a drug that’s used, as I know personally, is actually used to put you out during operations. We’re going to have to leave it there for the moment, we’re going to talk to you lots, lots more about your relationship with Michael Jackson and your plans for the future. Mr. Murray thank you for the moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Transcript: Conrad Murray DaybreakITV Interview Part 2

Int: How would you describe your relationship with Michael Jackson?

CM: Just a great friendship of course, but I was also his doctor but I spent more time with Michael as a friend compared to the time I had treated him medically.

Int: You said … you have said that you feel that he is somehow with you? That he talks to you is that correct?

CM: No, I certainly don’t hear voices and that’s been misconstrued in the press. Certainly, I dream of Michael, I have written letters to Michael and I’ve also felt his touch actually when the verdict of the civil trial was announced not too long ago, I actually felt his touch and I fought the tears.

Int: Do you actually feel honestly, in your heart, you believe that you did all that you could to save Michael Jackson?

CM: I’ll say this. I’ve done everything that I can, I did nothing wrong and contrary to everything that has been said, I did not kill Michael Jackson. I think that is absolutely wrong when they make that statement. Michael Jackson was found basically lifeless and all I did was to make every effort, I was so relentless in my effort to help Michael Jackson. He lived in a 14,000 square foot home, three floors, with no walking.. landline telephones, despite no effort by the paramedics. I got in the ambulance with him, I took him to the hospital and I did everything I can to help my friend.

Int: Well obviously the jury didn’t agree because they found you guilty and you served two years in prison. Now you oversaw, as you said, Michael Jackson’s healthcare. You say you were his friend but you were also his doctor, how can you justify that cocktail of sedatives and anesthetics that you prescribed for Michael Jackson?

CM: Well let’s talk about you know the… first you said the jury did not agree. If you were a member of a jury and you were sitting there and the Chief Prosecutor, David Walgren altered evidence in the middle of the courtroom and when we approached the judge he said he did not do that and then he writes a stipulation that was absolutely wrong. That would be considered obstruction of justice and it would be malfeasance by a public official

Int: But why did you prescribe all these sedatives to Michael Jackson, all these strong drugs, why did you do that as a doctor, why did you do that for him? Was it because of his paying you?

CM: Because of what?

Int: Because he was paying an awful lot of money?

CM: Oh no, not at all, not at all. I received not a single dime from Michael for his care, I have taken care of Michael since 2006, years before he passed away and despite my care and services to Michael, I never charged him. I paid for medicines, which clearly I was reimbursed but I’ve never charged him and I’ve never collected any of the $150,000 that has been shown to the world that I was receiving all of this income. I did not. I actually wanted to help Michael. When I was told by AEG that Michael was so penniless that he could not afford his home that he lived in, he could not afford toilet paper to wipe his… himself, he could not pay for popsicles for his children, nothing at all. This man was completely impecunious, I was stunned, but despite that I stayed with Michael because I wanted to help him.

Int: Can I just ask you? You say you wanted to help him, why did you then not advise him to cancel that tour, that forthcoming tour when he was clearly, clearly not physically and mentally perhaps capable of doing it but certainly not physically, why as his physician and as you said, his friend, did you not say, “Michael you can’t do this”?

CM: Well I’ve asked Michael time and time again, and Michael said he was up to sixty percent of his performance ability. I could not tell him to stop the show, not to go to the show, my whole goal was that maybe he would be strong enough eventually to go to England. Michael was in debt over 40 million dollars. His only last piece of property was wagered as a mortgage against the money that he was being charged against. AEG was bankrolling Michael - all of the money and he was getting further and further in debt. He was, basically in a hopeless situation, he was despondent, he was discouraged and I don’t think he had the ability to get to do the shows. He knew that. He wanted to have hip surgery to delay it. He considered trying to do brain surgery (smiles) and you know, it was just odd. Michael was demoralized in so many ways.

Int: We don’t know his financial situation, you’re saying that about the promoters, we don’t actually know that. Do you honestly believe, as you said, that you should be allowed to practice medicine again?

CM: I have practiced medicine for 23 years. I am a critical care specialist. I have taken care of those who have flatlined, the worst of the heart attacks, the cardiogenic shocks. I have saved those patients. In 23 years I have never had one disciplinary action by any medical boards in the United States, through all of the states that I have practiced. I have been in the most litigious states in the country and I have had no warnings and no reprimands. Not until this strike. This is the only blemish on my record and I am going to do my best to right a wrong that has happened to me.

Int: Mr. Murray thank you for joining us this morning, it’s been fascinating.

CM: Thank you so much.

Int: Thank you very much indeed.
