MICHAEL JACKSON LAST HOURS

description

As the minutes ticked away, here’s how the King of Pop‘s clock ran out – with shocking new details you’ll find only on NationalENQUIRER.com — the countdown to death time-line – minute by minute.  

MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Jackson leaves the Staples Center, according to the L.A. Times, where he had been rehearsing for what were to be his London comeback concerts. He had arrived there at 6:30 p.m., but hadn’t begun the rehearsal until 9 p.m. It lasted about 3 hours and an eyewitness was quoted as saying he "looked great and had energy," only complaining of some laryngitis.

OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING
— After returning to the Carolwood Drive mansion in L.A.’s Holmby Hills, there’s an indication Jackson had trouble getting to sleep following the rehearsal. According to the U.K. Mirror, a source said Jacko was "completely wired" and was racing around the house "frantically." The newspaper said he was given a tranquilizer "shot in the night" to help him sleep. They question whether Jackson also took "sleeping pills" following the injection.

THURSDAY MORNING
— The N.Y. Post says in the morning hours Jackson had been "packing up his things" in preparation to leave for the London concerts. They said inside the house were his three kids, their nannies, his personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, his longtime friend and one-time manager Frank DiLeo, and a security guard named "Tippy."

11:30 A.M
. — At this time, Jackson is said to have received a shot of Demerol — a powerful morphine-based painkiller the singer called his "health tonic." His "spiritual adviser" Deepak Chopra told the U.K. News of the World it was akin to a "drug overdose" and called it "the most inappropriate thing you could think of." A family biographer, Stacy Brown, told the N.Y. Post he learned from Jackson relatives that after receiving the shot Michael "soon collapsed on the living room floor." Jacko’s 12-year-old son Prince was said to have thought his father was playing a practical joke, playing dead, but it was absolutely real.

Dr. Murray’s lawyer claims Dr. Murray did not provide Jackson with Demerol, adding that Dr. Murray says he found Jackson in bed with a slight pulse and immediately began administering CPR.

In addition, Dr. Murray’s lawyer states Dr. Murray was frantically calling for help for upwards of 30 minutes after finding Jackson alone in his bedroom in an emergency state. According to the lawyer, Dr. Murray picked up a land-line telephone to call for help but discovered the phones in the mansion had been turned off earlier for “security reasons.”

Dr. Murray says he did not use his cell phone because he didn’t know the address of the mansion he was in. Dr. Murray further says he was shouting for help but no one heard him, according to the lawyer. Dr. Murray says he finally stopped performing CPR and ran downstairs to find help – and found a chef who alerted security.

Based on what Dr. Murray told his lawyer, and taking into account when the 911 call was placed, Dr. Murray would have discovered Jackson about 11:50 a.m.

11:35 A.M. to 12:20 P.M. — According to Brown’s account in the N.Y. Post, Tippy the guard and Dr. Murray picked up Jackson and placed him on a bed. Brown said he was told that Dr. Murray said Jackson was "very pale and cold to the touch."

As Dr. Murray worked on the stricken pop star, the N.Y. Post said Tippy placed a call to the singer’s father Joe in Las Vegas, who "screamed" at them to call for help. The U.K. Mirror quoted a source as saying over this time Jackson’s heart beat became "slower and slower," and Dr. Murray may have hooked Jackson up to a heart monitor. Various reports say Dr. Murray gave Jackson an injection of Lidocaine, a drug designed to return a regular heartbeat.

Dr. Murray carried out mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and heart massage, frantically trying to save Jackson. The U.K. Mirror said it was also likely that — seeing his patient dying in front of his eyes — Dr. Murray may have given Jackson a shot of adrenaline directly into his heart in a desperate life-saving measure.

12:21 P.M. — An unidentified male (not Dr. Murray) reached at Los Angeles 911 dispatcher, begging for help with a "50-year-old" man who "is not breathing." During the two-minute call, in which Michael Jackson’s name was never mentioned, the caller said the man’s personal doctor (being Dr. Murray) was not responding to CPR "or anything."

Told the victim was on the bed, and the doctor was "pumping his chest," the 911 dispatcher instructed the caller to place him on the floor — because a hard surface is more effective in performing the life-saving efforts.

12:30 P.M
. — Nine minutes after the emergency call was placed, paramedics arrived at the house, and according to the U.K. Mirror, the singer’s distraught three children had been taken to their rooms by nannies. The medics picked up the resuscitation efforts begun by Dr. Murray, manually pumping Jackson’s chest.

Various accounts say the emergency workers at the scene concluded Jackson was already dead, and reportedly asked Dr. Murray to pronounce him dead but Dr. Murray insisted Jackson be taken to the hospital by ambulance. Video shot outside the home showed the ambulance slowly backing out of the gated driveway while a Hollywood tour bus happened to be sitting outside the home watching the emergency activity.

2:26 P.M
. — At UCLA Medical Center, Jackson is finally declared dead. While the L.A. Times initially said he was in a coma at the hospital, the other reports conclude that he did pass away at his rented chateau.
