Kurt Cobain
River Phoenix

Now they say on tv that they are searching for his doctor. They say he lived in his house and gave MJ a daily injection, also on the day he died. Obviously the police has some questions, but the doctor couldn't be found yet.

Another thing I've been wondering about... Does anyone know who called the ambulance after Michael Jackson's heart attack? I did not hear any information on this on the news...

The Dr has been found and is going to speak with police. Apparently this personal Doctor is a cardiologist. I don't know who called 911 but they did play the 911 tape on CNN but I didn't recognize the voice of the person that called in and they didn't say the name of that person. but the one thing that stood out as very strange to me... I just mentioned that this personal doctor was supposedly a cardiologist....

ON the 911 tape the operator asked where MJ was and the caller said he was on the bed not breathing so the 911 op said to get him onto the floor and start CPR. and the caller said that the doctor was already doing CPR but he was not responding and not breathing.

He was doing CPR on him on the BED? I am NOT a cardiologist and even I know you do CPR on a hard firm surface NOT on a bed. it's pointless on a bed or soft area. So... WTF is that about? It's probably nothing but that just stood out to me as being out of place.

I am starting to think that maybe this was a planned suicide perhaps. but that is just speculation on my part

I never thought of a planned suicide. I think the doctors where giving him lots of drugs and whatever he wanted and it killed him. I hope he wouldn't want to kill himself considering he had children. I think he had things to look forward to. I think he had a lot of crappy people around him.

A dr. was just on TV and said that there was no good reason to give MJ an injection of Demerol at home and that after he saw that MJ stopped breathing, he should've immediately injected him w/another drug (sorry, I don't recall the name of it) and it would've started his breathing again. Something isn't right but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Narcan (Nalaxone) is the drug he probably mentioned -
Naloxone is a drug used to counter the effects of opioid overdose, for example heroin or morphine overdose. Naloxone is specifically used to counteract life-threatening depression of the central nervous system and respiratory system.

Yes, that's it, Narcan.

Maybe they just had a board lying around the bedroom - just in case

In the hospital, there was a board on the Crash Cart that we could quickly slip under the patient.

perhaps... but the doctor taking off afterwards makes me think perhaps he isn't exactly the professional you picture when you hear "cardiologist"

but I guess he is back now and talking to the police.

According to an article in the NY times, Dr. Murray is not board certified in either of his two specialties - internal medicine and cardiology. While board certification is not required to practice a specialty, it is recommended and indicates a high level of training and expertise.

The 'doc' was assigned to MJ.

AEG, the company that was 'sponsoring' the tour sent the doc to be at MJ's side. Apparently there was something about MJ passing a physical so the tour could be insured.
