Paris Jackson screamed for her daddy'

29th September 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Michael Jackson's daughter Paris shouted "Daddy" when she saw his lifeless body, a court heard today.

Michael's bodyguard Alberto Alvarez was the first witness called by the prosecution on Thursday morning in the ongoing trial of Jackson's former personal physician.

The superstar died of acute Propofol intoxication on June 25 2009 and Murray has been charged with his involuntary manslaughter. He is currently on trial in Los Angeles and has denied the allegations.

Alvarez was the guard called to the bedroom by Murray as Jackson's body lay on the bed. The court heard how Michael's 11-year-old daughter Paris cried out in horror as she stood close to her father's lifeless body.

He testified that he was sitting in his parked security trailer when he received a call from Jackson's assistant with a request to go to the singer's bedroom without causing a "commotion". When Alvarez arrived upstairs Murray was frantic, waving at the guard to enter the room saying "Come, come quick."

Alvarez witnessed Murray giving Jackson chest compressions as he entered the bedroom.

Jackson laid face-up with his hands to the side of his body and his eyes and mouth wide open. Seconds later Murray told Alvarez that Michael needed to be rushed to hospital.

After receiving this instruction, Alvarez noticed Jackson's daughter Paris crying inside the room. As Alvarez escorted Paris out of the room telling her "everything will be OK", Murray yelled "Don't let them see their dad that way."

After Paris was escorted out of the room, Alvarez asked Murray what had occurred and the doctor said that Jackson "had a bad reaction". He was then instructed by Murray to gather up medicine vials before calling emergency services.

Alvarez witnessed Murray grabbing vials from a night stand next to Jackson, who remained laying on his bed.

Murray passed a "handful" of vials to Alvarez and instructed the guards to put them into a plastic bag. He then advised Alvarez to put that plastic bag into a paper bag. The paper bag was then put into a blue bag at Murray's request.

One of these bags contained a "milky white substance" in it from an IV stand.

Alvarez is currently on stand and his testimony continues. (C) Cover Media
