Jackson ER doctor misled' by Murray

1st October 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Emergency medical professionals assisting Michael Jackson felt "misled" by Dr. Conrad Murray.

The second paramedic on the scene assisting Jackson in his last moments and the ER doctor who tended to the star have testified in the deceased star's trial Friday.

Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication on June 25 2009. Murray has been charged with his involuntary manslaughter, but he denies all allegations.

Paramedic Martin Blount went into Michael's bedroom with partner Richard Senneff in an attempt to resuscitate the star in response to a 911 call.

As Blount's colleague Senneff recounted in his testimony on Friday, Blount acknowledges that there were IVs and medical equipment in the room.

Blount claims that Murray told him that the IV bags were filled with benign saline solution.

Murray insisted that the saline was being used because Jackson was "dehydrated" from a gruelling rehearsal the day before. Murray never mentioned the drug Propofol to Blount.

While Blount and Senneff were attempting to revive Jackson, Blount recalled seeing Murray putting bottles of Lidocaine into a black bag.

Dr. Richelle Cooper received Jackson's body when he arrived at the hospital emergency room.

Cooper claims that Murray misled her about Jackson's true condition by telling her the singer was dehydrated.

Cooper recalls Murray claiming that he had only given four milligrams of Lorazepam to Jackson before he passed.

Murray did not mention Propofol to Cooper.

The trial resumes Monday. (C) Cover Media
