Michael Jackson's doctor scrambled for 30 minutes to find a working phone to call 911 as the superstar lay dying in his palatial Bel Air mansion, the doctor's lawyer revealed Monday.
The land lines in the rented mansion were all shut down for "privacy reasons," and Dr. Carlton Murray didn't use his cell phone to get help because he didn't know Jackson's address, the lawyer said.
Amazingly, Murray called for security, but no one answered. The doctor finally had to run downstairs to get a chef to summon help for the dying King of Pop.
"This entire time, with the exception of him running downstairs, he was performing CPR on Michael Jackson," Edward Chernoff, Murray's lawyer, told CNN.

Paramedics raced to the home and spent 42 minutes trying to resuscitate the 50-year-old superstar. They then took him to UCLA Medical Center, where doctors spent another hour in a futile effort to keep him alive.

He couldn’t Twitter 911?
“Doctor tried to find working phone for 30 minutes while Michael Jackson was dying...”

I guess saying “the Michael Jackson place” wouldn’t do it? “Holy GPS, Batman, how will they find me?”
I do believe that is known as a “clue” lol!
The only reason I’m responding to this is because I’m drunk...I’m living in the U.K. at the moment and am disgusted that so much airtime is taken up discussing this freak’s death...there are still young people dying in Iran! However, R.I.P. Farrah and Mr. Mays...
STOP IT—I never want to see another molester thread!!!!!!!

In the day and age I refuse to believe that no one at that mansion had a working cell phone. Heck, the Walmart greeter has a cell phone.

“Dr. Carlton Murray didn’t use his cell phone to get help because he didn’t know Jackson’s address, the lawyer said.”
Sounds like b.s. to me. Newish cell phones have embedded GPS.
I’m sorry for the double post.
The doctor didn’t know the address of the house he was living in ???
Are you taking a drink every time Michael Jackson is mentioned?
BelAir is an “exclusive” gated community, so I’m not sure if they even all have house numbers but he should have had at least an approximate idea where the house is in relation to other landmarks, etc. This doc is a cardiologist and loses his head like this....???
The guy in Walmart isn’t $400 million in debt. He most likely isn’t squatting at various friend’s homes or in hotels on other people’s dime.
These poor kids that weren’t his were living the lives of nomads.
Wow, all those “smarts” to be able to make it through med school and this is the best story he can think up? What a buffoon.
The doctor's car was parked in the driveway. He drove to the address he couldn't remember. He performed CPR on a bed.
No wonder the doctor has so many financial problems. He doesn't use his brain.
