Dr. Murray Bailed
Dr Conrad Murray has returned to work after facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter relating to the death Michael Jackson.
Murray was bailed for $75,000 (£48,000) at a Los Angeles court on Monday (8th – Feb) after pleading not guilty to “unlawfully” killing Jackson.
“The cause of death was established as acute Propofol intoxication,” a statement from the coroner said, adding that the drug was “normally administered to patients having surgery in hospital”.
A cocktail of drugs – also including sedatives Midazolam and Diazepam, the painkiller Lidocaine and the stimulant Ephedrine – were detected in his body. Finally resulting in the decision that Jackson’s death was Homicide.
Originally from Grenada, Dr Murray was hired by promoters AEG Live, at Jackson’s request, as the star’s personal physician ahead of his 50-date residency in London, for the enormously anticipated “This Is It” tour.
