LoginJackson doc Conrad Murray nailed
Damning ambulance report that could put Michael Jackson's doctor behind bars
FLAT-LINED: Jackson is whisked from home
21/03/2010
WE reveal the dynamite documents prosecutors believe will put Michael Jackson's doctor behind bars.
They make up the official ambulance report that paramedics called to treat the stricken superstar filled out on the day he died.
SCROLL BELOW TO SEE DYNAMITE DOCUMENTS
The sensational evidence, published exclusively today by the News of the World, could be a hammer blow to the case of Dr Conrad Murray, charged with involuntary manslaughter over Jackson's death.
The bombshell Emergency Medical Service Report states:
JACKSON'S DOCTOR: Conrad Murray
Murray FAILED to inform paramedics that he had given the singer a dose of Propofol, the anaesthetic drug that coroners ruled killed the King Of Pop.
Jackson had already FLAT-LINED (no heart activity) by the time they arrived and after two rounds of heart revival drugs failed he was declared dead at the scene.
As senior medic there Murray nevertheless insisted Jackson be taken to hospital and DEMANDED a third round of drugs which also failed.
Insiders say the document also paves the way for Jackson's father Joe to launch a "wrongful death" lawsuit against Murray, who continues to practice in Houston, Texas.
A Jackson family friend told us last night: "This is the clearest suggestion yet that Murray misled the paramedics. Why didn't he tell them about the Propofol? We are sick at what this report indicates."
The report shows paramedics quizzed Murray about "meds" (medicines) after racing to a bedroom at Jackson's Hollywood Hills home at 12.27pm on June 25 last year.
Murray told them Jackson was exhausted after a sleepless night and he had given him only the sedative Lorazepam and fluids to rehydrate him.
This contradicts what Murray told police and the findings of the autopsy.
Detectives say the doctor also administered Valium, Midazolam, Flumanzenil and Propofol overnight. The coroner found Jackson's blood contained Lorazepam as well as other anxiety sedatives Lidocaine, Diazepam, Nordiazepam and Midazolam, plus Ephedrine which can be used for sleep disorders and Propofol. The medics left the Controlled Meds section of the form blank indicating that Murray, who was paid £100,000 a month by Jackson, had not informed them about the many substances he had pumped into him.
The explosive document also gives a detailed insight into the desperate battle ambulance staff put up to bring Jackson back to life. The medics rushed past the star's children Prince, 13, Paris, 11, and Blanket, seven, into a bedroom six minutes after bodyguard Alberto Alvarez called emergency services saying Jackson was not breathing. He had suffered a cardiac arrest.
The medics noted Murray performing CPR as Jackson lay on the floor with an intravenous (IV) drip in his left LEG. In the comments section, one wrote: "50-year-old found supine on floor, cpr in progress via PMD Murray, no visible new trauma, good lung sounds faltering, intubation, IV in place lft leg."
Their initial examination indicated Jackson was already dead.
In seconds they had hooked him to an oximeter which measures the oxygen level in blood. Normal readings range between 93 and 100 per cent. Jackson's was zero.
They noted in the Vitals section that at 12.29pm Jackson had no blood pressure, pulse or breath and his pupils were dilated. There was some "pulseless electric activity" meaning the heart muscle was still flickering even though the singer was dead.
After five minutes of CPR and discussions with Murray, medics attempted to restart Jackson's heart with a combination of heart stimulant epinephrine and a drug which keeps heart valves open called atropine. The drugs, 1mg of each, were given through the IV line Murray had put in the star's left leg.
The result of the injections are seen in the Initial Rhythm Chart part of the documents. It shows the fluids rocked the heart muscle but a few seconds later the shaking stopped.
The team also attached a bag valve mask (BVM) hooked up to a 7.5cm tube run down his throat into his lungs in a bid to kick-start his breathing, but it had no effect.
The report's Code Summary Figures show the bag briefly raised the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in his body, from 20 to 26, but he was not breathing. Normal levels are 35 to 45.
The bag was discarded on the bed as we revealed last July when we published a photo of the death scene.
After four minutes the medics repeated the 1mg shots of epinephrine and atropine. The Rhythm Chart showed the heart muscle again shook but Jackson remained flat-lined.
American paramedics often adopt a "two rounds and you're out" approach meaning a patient is dead if he has not responded after a double dose of the powerful drugs.
In addition, most doctors view a carbon dioxide (C02) figure as low as 10 as the point beyond which there is no chance of recovery. Jackson's had now sunk to just six.
Firing
Last night Califiornia paramedic Kevin James told us: "The charts and readings indicate this is a dead man's heart. The fact his C02 levels were so low indicate Jackson had been down and out for a while, perhaps tens of minutes or even longer."
At 12.58pm the paramedics made a final desperate effort to bring Jacko back, firing 50mg of bicarbonate into the jugular vein in his neck. The injection neutralizes harmful acids after a cardiac arrest. After this got no reaction they contacted bosses at UCLA hospital with their results and were told to stop treatment.
But Murray interrupted the call, insisting Jackson could be saved, despite all the readings. Eight minutes after his last jab, Jackson was rushed on the three-mile journey to UCLA.
In the ambulance, Murray assumed control as the most senior medic. He ordered a THIRD round of the epinephrine/atropine combination and a second shot of bicarbonate.
But the charts confirmed Jackson remained flat-lined and all vital signs were out when he arrived at the hospital at 1.13pm. He was finally declared dead at 2.26pm.
It was a couple of hours later that the medics filed the bombshell emergency service report, attaching the graphics and charts of their efforts. It will be key evidence in both Murray's trial and any "wrongful death" lawsuit brought by Jackson's father.
Last night News of the World GP Dr Hilary Jones said: "If the report is correct, it is clear Jackson was dead before the paramedics arrived.
"He was flat-lining and there was no response to the resuscitation medicine. It's extraordinary that Dr Murray apparently didn't tell the paramedics exactly what drugs Jackson had been on hours earlier.
"It was his absolute duty to do so and the report suggests he failed.
"In my opinion Jackson died from respiratory depression - he was so deeply asleep he stopped breathing.
"And there was no justification for him using Propofol. It's just so bizarre that he should be using that to help him sleep.
"Dr Murray is nothing but a medically-qualified drug pusher."
