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.

What do you call the guy who graduates at the bottom of his class in his/her medical program?
“Dr.”

You have to scroll to the west on the map to see the Westwood area of L.A.
Based on this hard data, I'm still calling B.S. on the doctor's story.
You're probably right.
However, according to this map (and my experience), I should have a great signal all around Chattanooga. And I do, except for inside the building in which I work (which is right about 1/3 of the way from the top of the map, where all the railroads are)...

Now, our building is unique - no windows, and it's blessed with very thick concrete walls. I would think that there were windows on Jackson's house so that even if he had the kind of construction that we have, one could simply go near a window and get reception.
Of course, there's always the slim chance that the nobody had a cell phone. Very slim...
maybe you shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
I was referring to the fact that MJ and those children have been mooching off of anyone they could find recently.
Staying in other people’s homes - staying in hotels on other people’s dime.
They’ve been living the life of nomads.
My comment had nothing to do with adoption.
clarification before you jump to another incorrect conclusion...
MJ was the moocher, not the kids - they haven’t had a choice in the matter.
On Monday, sharpton stated he was helping with funeral arrangements and stated "MJ was a genius and not a freak" - what a lying sack of shite. The spinning for the homosexual child molester is amazing!
Oh boy, I’ll bet Mark Fuhrman has interesting observations on this case....<<<<<<<<<<<
Good point, I wonder if Mark Fuhrman still has a radio show? Last time I checked, I think it had been cancelled. He would have good insight, for sure.
Geraldo has already made said accusation on Friday.
Geraldo agrees with you. Anybody else hear him on Friday with his conspiracy theory?
after my coffee I now see why you are sad.
My reference to the children not being “his” are due to his public claims since his “marriage” to their mother that they were his biological children.
Did you know that?
And the press played right along describing him as having “fathered” these children to help rehabilitate his NAMBLA-like image to something less threatening.
So yes- some people seek and search.
I watched a family member endure background checks, multiple home visits.
After having their adopted son live with them for over a year the adoption still wasn’t finalized until beauracrats filled out the right forms and engaged in yet another round of interviews and home visits.
Now that the adoption is finalized, they still have a home check once a year or once every other year.
Of course MJ didn’t have to do that.
He had an offer from Debbie Rowe - her womb was for sale.
He “married” her - she was impregnated by an anonymous sperm donor and sired 2 children for him. She was paid to disappear (what father “helps” their kids by paying their mother to go away?)
The story on the 3rd child is still a mystery.
MJ was a drug addict. He had paid $25 million to a boy who accused him of molestation. During his trial there was ample testimony of many boys engaging in “sleepovers” where they were provided with alchohol and pornography.
After the trial his poor children had to follow him wherever he went while he sucked the money out of people.
So I am sad too that there are many people out there trying to adopt - and jumping through many hoops to make that dream possible, while this mentally ill drug addict was able to purchase them.
I clearly recall reading about Michael claiming they were his biological children, no matter that they were white.
I didn't know Michael Jackson personally as you must have to know so much about his private life, I'm really ‘Michael out’ and don't really need to know or learn any more. He was at one time a great entertainer, and he just like the rest of us ‘aged’
My son copied his ‘moonwalk’ and he would entertain us with it, he also did a portrait of MJ while very young and taking drawing classes, I must try to find that portrait, as I've saved most of his fantastic art work, he now is a professional medical illustrator.
we did search and find our son, and the experience was a rewarding one, the home study, the interviews were a learning experience, and after our year with our son, we were finalized and never again heard from the adoption agency, our treasured gift is now almost 38 years old and he is wonderful, he is truly our own.
and I feel MJ loved his children as his own. I will pray for those kids, they all three are so precious.
have a great day and a wonderful July 4th as we celebrate ‘FREEDOM’
nope, all I did was read the interview Debby Rowe just offered up.
So one day after those poor kids lost their drug addict father, their mother declared she didn’t want them in her life.
Nice huh?
It’s too bad he didn’t love them enough to give up the drugs and give them a stable home life as is expected of most adoptive families.
A happy 4th to you as well.
I’m not sure, haven’t heard any...yet. Stay tuned.
Wow....I hadn’t heard there was any proof that the children weren’t his biological children, that the sperm donor was anonymous. Where did you find that out?
What?....A doctor without a cell phone?...No way!
Jackson Will From 2002 In Spotlight [Wall Street Journal]
A will drafted by Michael Jackson in 2002 which divides the singer's estate among his mother, three children and one or more charities could play a central role in determining how his tangled financial relationships will be unwound.
Several people close to the late Mr. Jackson said that a lawyer for the pop singer could submit the will, believed to be his last, to Los Angeles Superior Court as soon as Thursday. That filing would cap a tense period in which relatives and advisers of the late singer debated what document, if any, was valid.
One or two other earlier wills have emerged since Mr. Jackson's death last Thursday, according to people familiar with the situation. The Associated Press reported that Mr. Jackson's parents, Joseph and Katherine Jackson, said in a Monday court filing that they believed the singer had died without a valid will. Joseph Jackson isn't believed to be included in the most recent will.
.... This will names as executors lawyer John Branca and a veteran music executive named John McClain who was also a friend of Mr. Jackson. Mr. Branca, who served as Mr. Jackson's primary attorney between 1980 and 2006, wrote the will. Mr. Jackson had rehired Mr. Branca the week before his death last Thursday. Mr. Branca didn't respond to requests for comment Monday; Mr. McClain couldn't be reached.

Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the children. She acted as a surrogate, for an anonymous woman’s eggs and anonymous man’s sperm.
