Dr. Conrad Murray Negotiating With Prosecutors To Surrender

Michael Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray Negotiating With Prosecutors To Surrender and face charges related to Jackson’s death.

According to a law enforcement source, Dr. Murray would be arraigned at the courthouse near the Los Angeles International Airport at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET) Friday, February 5th, 2010.

“We are presently negotiating with the district attorney’s office the surrender of Dr. Murray. The specifics have not yet been agreed to and when the agreement is complete we will report further on this Web site.” Ed Chernoff stated in a statement posted Thursday on his Web site.

Prosecutors have not announced any charges yet and Dr. Murray has not been told how or where he should surrender.

Dr. Murray did traveled to Los Angeles last week from his home in Houston, Texas, in anticipation of possible charges, which he expects to be announced, within 24 to 48 hours.

Dr. Murray was hired to be Jackson’s personal physician last spring as the entertainer prepared for his comeback concerts in London, England, and was his personal doctor during the time of his death..

Dr Murray has told Los Angeles police investigators that he was with Jackson through the early morning hours of June 25th, 2009, in an effort to help the pop star fall asleep.

He administered pharmaceutical sleep aids and when Jackson finally began sleeping in the late morning hours, Murray stated that he left the bedroom for “about two minutes maximum.”

“Upon his return, Murray noticed that Jackson was no longer breathing,” it stated.

Dr. Murray stayed with Jackson as an ambulance rushed him to Holmby Hills to UCLA Medical Center.

Their efforts at CPR could not revive the pop star Michael Jackson and he was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m.

The Los Angeles County coroner ruled that Jackson’s autopsy proved his death was a homicide resulting from a combination of drugs, primarily propofol and lorazepam.

The coroner’s statement said Jackson died from “acute propofol intoxication,” but there were “other conditions contributing to death: benzodiazepine effect.” Lorazepam and two other drugs Murray said he used are benzodiazepines.

Murray told investigators he had given Jackson three anti-anxiety drugs to help him sleep in the hours before he stopped breathing, a police affidavit said.

Dr. Murray had been treating Jackson for insomnia for six weeks at the time of the pop star’s death. He stated to investigators that he gave Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol, the generic name for Diprivan, diluted with the anesthetic lidocaine every night via an intravenous drip.

Murray told police he was worried that Jackson was becoming addicted to the drug and tried to wean Jackson off the drugs.

Two nights previous of Michael Jackson’s death, Murray stated that he put together a combination of other drugs that succeeded in helping the pop star, Michael Jackson sleep.
