This concert was aired on 9/18/10 by the Nessma TV channel in Tunisia. Before then, only parts of this concert were shown on television as well as a very poor quality amateur-filmed far from the stage. The broadcast ended at “Heal The World”, cutting off the final number, “HIStory”. The quality of the broadcast was rather average as the entire concert was on a VHS, and a red ball (Nessma TV’s logo) occasionally rolled across the screen as a means of copyright protection. The concert broadcasted twice, with the red ball appearing in different places in both broadcasts.
1997- Michael, Omer, Katherine & Joseph visit Nelson Mandela’s home.

2005- Michael is at The Power House Studios, working on a charity song, "From The Bottom Of My Heart" , to help the victims of hurricane Katrina.
Michael said:

"It pains me to watch the human suffering taking place in the Gulf Region of my country. My heart and prayers go out to every individual who has had to endure the pain and suffering caused by this tragedy. I will be reaching out to others within the music industry, to join me in helping to bring relief and hope to these resilient people who have lost everything"

Within 24 hrs of the devastation, Michael penned the song and reached out to artists who would like to work with him on this project, some of the enlisted celebrity friends, including R. Kelly, Ciara, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, James Brown, Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige, which he humbly hopes will make a tremendous difference to all individuals who have been affected by this tragedy.
2011 - People v. Murray Trial Day 9
Morning Session
Dan Anderson Testimony continued/Flanagan Cross
Flanagan starts off by asking about the IV bag on the stand in Michael's room where he died. Flanagan asks if the bag was analyzed for all chemicals and the only thing was saline solution, Anderson states they do not analyze for solution, but there were no drugs found in it. Flanagan asks about the tubing (hanging from the IV stand), and Anderson states that it was not found to have any drugs in it.
Flanagan asks repeatedly whether the tubing and the IV bag were attached, Anderson repeatedly states that they were not attached when received into medical evidence, according to notes. Flanagan asks if Anderson tested two syringe barrels, Anderson states yes and when asked, states that both barrels tested positive for propofol and lidocaine. Flanagan asks if Anderson tested any apparatus that had only propofol in it, Anderson states no. Anderson states that the only medical equipment that had propofol and lidocaine in them were the Y tubing (connector) and the syringe barrels. Anderson states that each of the syringes and the Y tubing each had Flumanezil. Flanagan asks if the proportion of propofol and lidocaine were the same in both the Y tubing and the 2 syringe barrels, Anderson states that proportionality testing was not performed.
Flanagan asks for Anderson to define equilibrium as it relates to bodily fluids, Anderson states he believes it is when the samples of the drug or their concentrations are equal. Flanagan asks how long it takes for the blood system to come to an equilibrium, Anderson states its beyond his scope of expertise. Flanagan asks Anderson to define therapeutic range (of a drug), Anderson states that a concentration of the drug that achieves the desired effect, generally it is a safety concern because they are not safe at all concentrations. Flanagan asks what determines therapeutic range, Anderson states clinical trials from the FDA, as well as the literature provided with each drug. Flanagan asks if there is a therapeutic range for propofol, Anderson states no. Flanagan asks about therapeutic range for Lorazepam, Anderson states that it averages 100-200 micrograms per mililiter. Anderson clarifies that the average can be 180, but that everybody tolerates medications differently, and he cannot give specific ranges.
Flanagan shows a Lorazepam bottle, prescription for Michael, asks Anderson to read the bottle, Anderson reads "Lorazepam 2 mgs, 1 tablet by mouth". Flanagan asks about Michael's blood concentration of .16% and asks if that would equal about five Lorazepam tablets, Anderson states yes, regardless of the route, whether it was in tablet or IV form. Flanagan asks if Michael had the equivalent of 11 mg of Lorazepam, Anderson states yes, approximately. Flanagan asks how many pills would he have to take to get to that level (11 mg), Anderson states that it could be an accumulation over several days, and that he does not feel comfortable with assumptions of routing of medications or form of medications.
Flanagan asks about ion trapping with respect to Lorazepam, Anderson states that he knows little about Lorazepam and postmortem redistribution. Anderson states that the only way to get propofol in the stomach is through oral ingestion or ion trapping, it's not postmortem redistribution.
Flanagan asks Anderson to define the term ion trapping. Anderson states that an acidic environment traps the ions of the drug in that environment, beyond that, is beyond his area of expertise. Anderson states that other than ingestion, the only way propofol can get into the stomach by diffusion of the surrounding specimens. When Flanagan asks about the surrounding specimens, Anderson answers that the liver is close, blood samples and blood itself are close to the stomach.
Flanagan states that Anderson is saying that Lorazepam can get into the stomach through redistribution, Anderson states that it can get into the stomach by ion trapping. Anderson states time and time again that this information is beyond the scope of his expertise. Anderson states that he has seen many different decedents who had stomach contents with drugs in them, and that the drugs were not given orally. Anderson states he does not have personal experience with a decendent that had Lorazepam in their stomach.
Flanagan asks Anderson about ephedrine. Flanagan asks if Anderson came to understand that propofol was the most important drug in the case, Anderson states yes he did. Flanagan asks if Lorazepam was important, Anderson he thinks it has its importance, but that it does notraise a flag. Anderson states that propofol in any case is important, Lorazepam was in therapeutic range, and that he previously testified that propofol was within range only a proper setting. When Flanagan asks what does a setting have to do with therapeutic range, Anderson states that it's very important. Flanagan states that therapeutic range is desired effect, Anderson states yes. Flanagan states that the literature does not take into consideration the setting, Anderson states that every drug literature takes setting into consideration.
Flanagan asks if Anderson did the calculations with regard to Lorazepam last weekend, Anderson states it was two weekends ago, Anderson states that he did them because of the Lorazepam in the gastric sample, and the two urine samples done by the defense. Anderson states that the urine is a historical perspective, and could be an accumulation from several days. Anderson states that the Midazolam testing was done in the urine because the concentration is much higher, which helps to confirm the blood level of Midazolam. Anderson states that Lorazepam levels were much more elevated in the urine than the Midazolam. Anderson states Lorazepam 12,974 nanograms/ml (13 micrograms/ml) Midazolam 0.025 nanograms/ml. Anderson states that the Lorazepam concentration goes up in the autopsy urine, and with Midzolam much less than Lorazepam.
Anderson states that the half life of Lorazepam is 9-16 hours, and that he looked it up in a medical reference book to gain that information. Anderson states he doesn't know what the absorption time and/or the peak time of Lorazepam, that it is in the book, but he doesn't remember what it said.
Walgren Redirect
Anderson clarifies that he never went to 100 North Carolwood. Anderson states that he received vials of blood, a broken syringe with plunger, an IV catheter from Investigator Fleak. Anderson states that the IV bag and IV tubing was brought to him at the lab, simply marked medical evidence #2.
Anderson states that the difference between blood sample and urine sample, is that the blood is what is usually happening in the body, and in the urine represents everything that the body is metabolizing out, and that the urine concentration expectation is that it would be much higher. Anderson states that the urine is historical in nature and what is being expelled from the body over a certain amount of time.
Anderson states that the PACTOX gastric contents analysis, shows 634 nanograms/ml of Lorazepam. Anderson states that the lab measured in concentration, he was provided 73.5 mls of gastric contents, in which he would multiply the two numbers to get the nanograms of stomach contents which would be 46,599 nanograms of Lorazepam left in the stomach. But the numbers Anderson should have used for calculation (micrograms not nanograms) he needed to divide by a thousand, so 46,599 divided by a thousand equals 46.599 divided by another 1000 to get a mg amount, equals 0.04599 of Lorazepam in the stomach. Anderson states that he went further and got a more exact amount and arrived at 0.046599. Anderson states that with a 2 mg Lorazepam pill, the gastric contents are equal to 1/43rd of a single 2 mg tablet, which is a very small amount
Flanagan Recross
Flanagan asks if there is a high concentration of ephedrine in the urine, but a low concentration in the bladder, would it be fair to say it was recently taken, Anderson says it’s a fair assumption. Flanagan asks if it's the same with propofol, Anderson states that he is not familiar with the excretion patterns of propofol.
Flanagan asks if a person were to take 7 or 8 Lorazepam tablets, and he found 14 miligrams in the stomach, would Anderson state that the person had taken it recently, Anderson states yes. There are numerous questions asked after this by Flanagan, but prosecutor Walgren objects and judge Pastor sustains them.
Elissa Fleak recall testimony/Walgren Direct
Walgren goes over evidence collection and when Fleak recovered multiple evidence items. Walgren asks if there are a lot of photographs taken on multiple days. Fleak looked over the photos to identify which photograph was taken which day (June 25th or June 29th). Fleak says she went into the master bedroom briefly, looked around but did not search it.
Walgren talks about IV stand and the photographs about it. 2 photos of IV tubing taken on June 25th. Tubing is draped over the handle. June 29 photos of IV stand /tubing. June 29 it's still draped over as it was on June 25. Later photos taken same day, it's no longer draped over the handle. One June 29, the investigators freed the tube (undraped it) so that the syringe can be photographed.
Chernoff Cross
Chernoff again questions whether she went into Michael's master bedroom or not. And again brings the subject of master bathroom and photographs taken in it.
In Michael's master bedroom the fireplace is on , TV is on as well. Chernoff shows pictures inside the master bathroom and asks if Fleak remembers the pill bottles. Fleak says she wasn't there on June 26 and those bottles were collected on June 26. Fleak says she doesn't know who collected them and who took those pictures. Chernoff shows a picture where there's no pill bottles. Chernoff asks about the briefcase in the pictures.
Detective Scott Smith Testimony
Walgren Direct
LAPD Detective for 20 years. He was assigned to robbery-homicide division on 6/25/09. He learned about the death of Michael at 3:30PM from his supervisor. He arrived at UCLA at 4:25 PM. Smith went to the emergency area. He stayed there till 7:00PM. Smith did not see Murray at UCLA. Smith obtained security footage from UCLA showing Murray. They footage shows Murray leaving at 4:38PM.
https://preview.redd.it/uzwi66c8rosb1.jpg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3dc23f0e5f486a72bd902dc04302084dc54ae463
Walgren plays the video and then shows an aerial photo of UCLA and asks Detective Smith to mark the way Murray let the hospital.
Smith talked with Faheem Muhammed, Alberto Alvarez at UCLA very briefly. Faheem just told he was employed by Michael and gave his contact information. Alvarez said the same thing and also mentioned he went into the room to help Michael and called 911. Detective Smith didn't do any more interviews that day. He arrived to Carolwood around 7:30PM.
Smith didn't know the cause of death at that point of time. At that time this was a death investigation, not a homicide information. Death investigation could be natural causes and detectives may or may not be involved. If it is a homicide investigation the police department takes full responsibility. It becomes a homicide investigation if there's an obvious cause of death such as gunshot etc. This was a death investigation and coroner was leading the investigation not the police department. Detectives were on the scene to assist and support the coroner's office as needed.
Walgren asks if this had been an homicide investigation would LAPD be leading the investigation and collect evidence. Smith says yes. On June 25th evidence was collected by coroner's office. Det. Smith was assisting and overseeing the LAPD photographer. Smith says they left the residence around 9:30 PM. They released the house at the request of Jackson family to private security.

June 26th - Detective Smith attended the entire autopsy of Michael. He didn't have cause of death by the end of autopsy. They had no information to assist with the investigation. It was deferred pending toxicology results. At this time it was still a death investigation and not a homicide investigation. On June 26th Smith went to Carolwood again. Coroner Ed Winters called him and said some items were given to him by family. Smith went to take those items. They initially thought it was tar heroin which turned out to be old rotten marijuana. It was found in a shaving kit. Those items had no relevance to Michael's death and determining the reason for his death.
In the shaving kit there was also temazepam bottle prescribed by Murray. Smith had also found some empty pill bottles on June 26th in Michael's master bathroom.
Walgren goes over the pictures of the master bathroom taken over several days.
June 25th pictures - Bathroom appears to be messy, drawer doors open, a few notes taped on the bathroom mirror.
Pictures from June 26th - There was no empty pill bottles or briefcase on June 25th pictures. On June 26th there's a briefcase, Smith doesn't know whose suitcase it is. June 26 pictures show empty pill bottles on a ledge. Smith says that he placed them on the ledge to photograph them.
On June 27th Murray's attorney Michael Pena spoke with Detective Martinez. They made arrangements to meet at Ritz Carlton at 4 PM. Murray's attorneys had chosen the place. Detective Martinez and Smith met with Murray and his lawyers in a room at the hotel. They conducted and recorded the interview.
Audio of Murray’s interview with the police is played
June 27th Ritz Carlton. Murray is at the interview with his lawyers Chernoff and Pena. Detective Smith and Martinez are doing the interview.
First part of the interview: Officer is going through and asks Murray basic information as his address, phone number, weight, when he was born, how tall he is etc.
Detective says the detectives at the hospital was from another division and was not handling the case. They took some notes but didn’t do a formal interview. Murray seems surprised to hear that other detectives took notes after he left.
Murray talks about how he met Michael. They met in 2006 and saw him on and off since then. The first time Murray saw Michael was because he and his kids had the flu, a bodyguard of Michael's whose parents were patients of Murray referred him.
Murray says he had been caring for Michael for the last 2 months. Murray tells that he received a phone call saying Michael was going to do a concert-tour in London and he wanted Murray with him. Murray said he needed more details before accepting. He then says Michael called and said he was happy Murray was going to join him – although he had not yet committed to join the team.
Detectives ask about who Murray is working for AEG or Michael. Murray says he’s an employee of Michael's but paid through AEG.
Lunch break
Afternoon Session
Audio of Murray's interview with the police is continued
Murray says he had no idea that AEG were going to pay him.
Detectives ask about Michael's general health. Murray says generally speaking Michael did not eat well and was very thin. He did not find any major physical change in his condition except for something called subluxation of his right hip (Michael's right hip would slip out and slide back to the joint). Michael had fungal disease on his toes which was treated. Nothing more that Murray noticed.
On June 24th, Murray got a call around 12:10 am that Michael was done with rehearsals. He had attended meetings and did a partial performance (not a full rehearsal). MJ wasn't complaining about anything but wanted Murray to be at Carolwood by the time he came home.
Murray spent every night at Carolwood except nights he was off, which were Sundays. He spent the night there per Michael's request.
Murray arrived to the home at 12:50am before Michael and waited at his bedroom. Michael arrived shortly after, around 1am. Once he arrived, they greeted each other and talked about their days. Michael told Murray he was tired and fatigued and was treated like a machine. Michael took a quick shower and changed and came back to the room.
When Michael came back to the room, Murray put some cream/lotion on his body and back for Vitiligo.
Detectives ask Murray about the bedroom. Murray tells that Michael had 2 bedrooms. No one, not even cleaners, would be allowed to go into the master bedroom and it would be in a bad state. Murray would see Michael in the second bedroom , the one that had the IV stand and oxygen tanks. After cream, Michael wants to sleep. Murray says Michael is not able to sleep naturally. Murray says he would put an IV for hydration on Michael's right or left leg below the knee. They then talked a bit and he gave him Valium - 1 pill 10 mg orally.
As the Valiums effect was delayed, so around 2 AM Murray gave Michael 2 mg of Lorazepam which it was IV pushed slowly. Murray says he observed Michael but he continued to be awake for 1 hour, he says he watched him because he wanted to be cautious. So Murray decided to give him Midazolam (2 mg injected slowly) around 3 AM. Murray waited again but Michael was wide awake. He said he couldn't sleep. Murray suggested to lower the music that Michael likes to sleep with and to dim the lights. He told Michael to meditate while he rubbed his feet. Michael did that reluctantly and his eyes closed. Murray estimates that Michael closed his eyes around 3:15-3:20; he doesn't know it for certain because he wasn't looking at his watch at that time. 10-15 minutes later Michael was again awake.
Michael was surprised that he managed to sleep after he had meditated and they tried mediating again but by 4:30 AM Michael was still wide awake. He starts to complain saying that he has rehearsals he needs to perform and tomorrow he will need to cancel his rehearsals because he can't function if he can't sleep. Murray says then he gave Michael another 2mg of Lorazepam at 4:30/5:00 AM because a safe time had passed. That didn't put Michael to sleep as well.
Michael complained that if he can't perform he would have to cancel the rehearsals and it would put the show behind and cannot satisfy fans if he's not rested well. Murray says that it put a lot of pressure on him. Murray tells Michael he isn't normal and the medications that he gave would make a normal person sleep for 1-2 days. (due to wanting the medications/can't sleep)
By 7:30, Michael was still awake. At that time he gave another 2 mg of Midazolam. There was still no effect. Murray says he cautiously checked the IV site to make sure the fluid and medicines were going to Michael because he wondered why he wasn't responding to medications. At this time Murray says Michael also urinated.
10 AM in the morning - nothing has worked. Murray was watching and trying to get Michael to sleep. He is complaining he can't sleep, he has to cancel the dates and everything has to be pushed back.
Michael at that time asks, "Please give me some milk so that I can sleep, because I know this is all that really works for me". Detectives think that they are talking about actual milk and asks if Michael wanted hot or warm milk. Murray tells them it's a medicine, Propofol, which is "a sedative that could also be used for anesthesia". Murray gave Michael propofol through IV around 10:40. Murray had asked him how long he would sleep if he gave him Propofol because he needed to get up at a certain time. Michael told him it doesn't matter when he wakes up, told him to just make him sleep.
Murray say he gave him small amounts to get him to sleep, he administered 25 mg of Propofol together with Lidocine, he pushed it slowly. This time it must have been 10:50, effect is quick and Michael was sleeping now.
Detectives ask if Murray had any monitoring equipment. Murray says he took all the precautions that were available to him such as oxygen and pulse oximeter.
Detectives questions Murray about the dosage. Murray says 50 mg propofol was the highest amount propofol he had given Michael ever. That night he gave less due to the other medications he had given to him. Murray says he roughly gave MJ Propofol every day, there were rarely exceptions. Murray also says that three days leading up to Michael's death, he tried to wean him off propofol
He was not aware that Michael was taking this on a daily basis before he was hired. Murray was surprised by Michael's pharmacological knowledge and his mention of "milk" and & "antiburn"; Michael said he had taken propofol before.
Michael said he used it in Germany but never disclosed other doctors' names. Michael never told him he administered it himself but other doctors let him infuse it by himself.Murray told him NO he wouldn't let him do that
Murray says Michael knew that propofol was the only thing that worked for him. Murray says he often warned him about it.
Michael told him he was seeing a Dr Lee & she was giving him a cocktail for energy. Murray says there were a lot of IV sites on Michael's body and his veins were sclerotic. Murray asked Michael what is in the cocktail and wants to review it. Michael says he doesn't know. Later they got rid of Lee because Michael felt she was unprofessional and cancelled an appointment. Michael felt she wasn't telling him the truth.
Once in Las Vegas Murray got a call that Michael was in Vegas with his children for a show and he was staying at Wynn Hotel. Michael says he was having difficulties sleeping. Murray tells Michael to use sleep medications (lorazepam or restoril) that he gave to him. Michael tells Murray nothing that he, Klein or Metzger gave to him works. Murray says he doesn't have any other alternatives. Michael then asks about Diprivan / Propofol and says that he knows that it works. Murray says he doesn't have it. Michael mentions Dr. Adams and that he gave him Propofol. Murray doesn't know Adams. Michael gives Murray Adams phone number. Murray calls Adams. The plastic surgeon's office Adams used doesn't allow them in the office so Murray lets them into his office on a Sunday. Adams puts Michael on a Propofol drip for 6 hours. Murray says he had monitoring equipment. Murray comes back to his office after 6 hours and Michael says he's feeling wonderful because he has slept.
Michael tells Murray that this is divine guidance and other doctors helped him sleep for 15/10/18 hours. Michael mentioned having another doctor, Adams, on tour with them. Adams was willing to go on tour with him and wanted $1.2 - $1.3 million a year.
Murray mentions that Michael wanted him to be around forever, after the tour. Murray mentions Michael's plans for a children's hospital and wanted Murray to be the medical director.
Detectives go back to the night of June 25th. Murray gave Michael 25 mg Propofol. Michael falls asleep but hes not snoring. Generally when he's in deep sleep he snores so he's not in deep sleep. Murray monitors him. Everything looked stable and he was comfortable. Murray needed to go to the bathroom to pee and empty Michael's urine jar.
When he came back after 2 minutes he sensed Michael wasn't breathing because he usually looked at his chest to see if he was breathing. He immediately checked his pulse and got a thread pulse from the femoral area and Michael's body was warm and he assumed everything happened quickly and immediately started CPR and mouth-to-mouth. He wanted to apply medicine as well but not first because he wanted to ventilate and compression first. He saw Michael's chest rise. Murray says he couldn't move him from the bed to the floor by himself. He then got his left hand under his body and then gave him CPR and also ventilating him and made sure his chest was rising completely. He looked for the phones but phones do not work in the house. He doesn't know the address or zip-code; only know its North Carolwood. The house is closed during nights and only Michael, he and the children would be there. Murray tells that security doesn't come to the house. Murray thinks it's inhumane that the security are not allowed into the house to pee.
He says to talk to 911 would be to abandon him and he didn't want to abandon him. He reached his cell phone and called Michael Amir Williams. Murray tells Williams to send up security. Murray says he didn't ask Williams to call for 911 because then he would have asked why and Murray was trying to assist Michael. Murray realizes that Michael doesn't have a pulse now so he lifts Michael's legs for a brief moment for auto transfusion and continues to do CPR, etc. No one came to the door, no one knocked on the door. So he gave Michael 0.2 mg Flumazenil because he wanted to reverse the affects of the other drugs but Michael was not still breathing and no help was coming. He then opened the door and ran down to the kitchen and told the chef (Kai Chase) to have the security immediately and security (Alvarez) comes upstairs. Murray tells Alvarez to call 911 and wants help to move Michael's body to the floor and still helps with chest compressions.
Alvarez talked to 911 but Murray told him to just tell the paramedics to hurry up because he wanted help to move Michael to the floor. Paramedics came and called UCLA, Michael was not breathing. They were doing chest compressions. Murray says Michael was PEA (pulseless electrical activity), which means you don't shock a patient. Michael was given starter drugs. Murray says that he felt the communication and the orders coming from UCLA was kind of slow.
After 20 minutes of effort which Murray thinks was limited, he knew Michael hadn't been gone too long and he had felt a femoral pulse. So Murray asked UCLA instead of calling Michael dead to transfer the patient to him. Murray took over the care and they took Michael to UCLA. Emergency personnel met them. They worked on Michael for an hour. Murray says probably they would have stopped sooner if Murray wasn't insisting. They don't know why Michael died but thinking pulmonary embolism could be a reason (a clot in the lungs that would shut the circulation in the lungs). Michael is pronounced dead. Murray doesn't want to sign the death certificate as he doesn't know the cause of death.
Chernoff jumps in and changes the topic to Murray trying to wean Michael off 3 days before his death. Murray says he didn't know Michael used propofol before and that it was kind of a habit. Murray says he wanted to help Michael to sleep naturally and tried to wean him off. Murray asks what Michael would do once the tour was over; Michael tells him he thinks he can be able to sleep then. Murray switches to lesser drugs (such as Lorazepam) to wean him off. Murray says Michael knew it but he was reluctant. Murray says he never told Michael that he believed he had drug dependency. He was trying a strategy and was trying to get Michael to transfer his confidence in Propofol to something lesser. First night Murray reduces Propofol and starts Lorazepam and Versed. Second night he removed Propofol and only gave Lorazepam and Versed. Michael told him he felt a little hangover in the day. The night Michael died Murray started with Lorazepam and Versed but nothing was working. Murray doesn't know if it was withdrawal from Propofol or if it was psychological. Murray says after trying all night with those 2 drugs he finally gave Michael Propofol so that he can sleep and so that he can produce the next day. Murray says he didn't want Michael to fail and he cared about him.

Summary of the remaining portion of the interview below:
Murray mentions Michael probably having withdrawal symptoms to Propofol on June 25th. He says that it can be either physical or psychological or mental.
In the hospital Murray talked to the detectives briefly and gave them his phone number.
Murray says he and emergency room doctor went into the room Katherine Jackson was waiting and told her that Michael had died. Murray says he stayed with her to console her and asked UCLA to bring in a psychologist to help Katherine. Murray then learns that children are in another room and decided to notify the children. Murray , Dileo, Michael Amir Williams and a social worker went into the room the children were and told them Michael was dead. Murray says the children were weeping and the stayed there to console them. Murray says Paris mentioned her unhappiness and said she didn't want to be an orphan. Dileo and Murray say that they will take care of her. Murray tells Paris that he tried his best to save Michael. They bring Michael's kids and Katherine together. Murray says he doesn't know how close they are.
The children want to see Michael, psychology team says it's a good idea and it would bring them closure. UCLA was prepping Michael's body for viewing. During this time Jermaine, Latoya and some cousins of Michael's came to the hospital. They were briefed about what happened. Murray went into the room where the family was, family asked Murray if he knew why Michael died. Murray said no and recommended them to get an autopsy. Michael's body was ready for viewing and the children went to see him. Murray asked Katherine if she wanted to see Michael as well, she said no.
Murray talked with the bodyguards and asked them where would the children go. Bodyguards told him they can't go back to the house because it was on lock down. Murray talked with Randy Phillips, Frank Dileo and the bodyguards and asked if he can do anything. Murray says Jermaine asked to make an announcement and they wanted Murray to review the press release. Murray says he added the cause and Jermaine edited the part that asked fans to respect their privacy to ask media to respect their privacy. Murray says he talked with Jermaine a little bit. Murray says then he was tired and left the hospital to go home.
Murray again mentions he talked to Detective Porche and gave him his phone number. Detectives mention that they called Murray several times but the calls went to voice mail. Murray's lawyer, Pena, says it was his advice to Murray to leave his phone off and wait for his lawyers to talk to detectives later.
Detectives ask if Murray knew Michael had any preexisting conditions. Murray says he treated him for pneumonia in 2008, fractured toe in 2008, upper respiratory issues multiple times over the years, lethargy and for callouses on his feet. Murray also treated fungal infection on Michael's feet. Murray says he gave him Lamisil and did a full blood work before to make sure that his liver was okay.
Chernoff asks detectives if there's any preliminary toxicology results and the detectives say they are not aware of it. Chernoff then asks Murray if he knew of other medications Michael might be taking. Murray says he heard that Michael was seeing Klein. Murray says around 3 weeks ago he heard Michael calling Jason Pheiffer and asking him if he can squeeze him in to see Klein. Murray says he also saw pill bottles with Dr. Metzger's name on them. Murray says Michael doesn't disclose all the physicians that he's seeing.
Detectives list a number of medicines and ask Murray if he prescribed them and what are they used for. Murray explains Flomax and says that Michael has a hard time urinating. Murray is surprised to find out that Michael had some sort of eye drops. Murray says that Michael had very bad eyesight and he thought that he could be legally blind. Murray arranged for an appointment but Michael didn't go to see the eye doctor so Murray is surprised to hear about eye drops.
Murray says Michael's production team has told him that his worst days were after he came from seeing Klein and he would be wasted and require 24 hours to recover. Detectives mention finding marijuana and Murray says that Michael denied it and surprised to find out he would be using stuff like that. Detective tells Murray it was old and rotten. Detectives ask about empty cigarette packs they found , Murray says he doesn't know if Michael smoked. Detectives ask if Michael packed his suitcases and Murray says he did. Murray mentions Michael using excessive cologne and could not understand why he would use that much and says it might be to dismiss any odor.
Detectives ask how many syringes Murray used and Murray replies 2. He says he would recap them and he would use medication and mix them with saline. Detectives asked Murray what he did with those syringes Murray say he would put them in his bag and put them into the cupboard. When detectives ask where those syringes are Murray tells them he left them at the house at the closet. Detectives ask which closet and Murray describes it to them. Murray says Michael showed him the cabinet and told him to put his stuff there.
Detectives ask for the keys to Murray's car so that they don't have to break into his car and damage it.
At the end of the recording Detectives ask if Murray ever gave Michael Demerol. Murray responds no. Detective Smith says they didn't find any and Detective Martinez says he doesn't know how that came up.

Fungus Elixir Reviews 2023 – Effective Ingredients or Scam Warning?

How Does Fungus Elixir Work?

Fungus Elixir contains a blend of 25 ingredients designed to target foot and toenail fungus in different ways. Some ingredients include vitamins, minerals, herbs, and plants. Other ingredients include superfood fruit and vegetable extracts, spices, amino acids, mushroom extracts, and more.
By taking two capsules of Fungus Elixir, you can purportedly take advantage of a “sacred formula that eradicates it forever,” helping you permanently get rid of your toenail fungus.
Most of the ingredients in Fungus Elixir work by targeting underlying factors linked to toenail fungus – like immune dysfunction or inflammation. By targeting these root causes of infection issues, Fungus Elixir claims to clear up even the most serious toenail fungus infections – all without the side effects or costs of traditional toenail fungus therapies.

Who Created Fungus Elixir?

Fungus Elixir was created by a woman who struggled with toenail fungus so much that she nearly died from her condition. That woman, Karen Holly, used Fungus Elixir to permanently eradicate her serious toenail fungus.
1.5 years ago, Karen was lying in a hospital bed on a lung machine fighting for her life. Her toenail fungus had caused serious health complications throughout her body. Karen was about to become another statistic: nearly 1.7 million people die of toenail fungus every year, and Karen nearly became one of them.
Karen’s toenail fungus started as a normal issue: despite washing her feet and nails regularly and occasionally getting pedicures, Karen noticed her feet start to yellow over time. Here’s how Karen explained the development of the issue:
“I wash my feet and nails rigorously. I get pedicures every month. Nobody takes better care of my feet than me…And yet, there it was…one of my toenails had turned yellow.”
Karen visited her doctor, who prescribed toenail fungus treatments like Lamisil. However, Karen experienced severe side effects from Lamisil – including blurry vision. Karen tried taking other drugs, but nothing worked.
Over time, Karen’s blurry vision issue became worse. Due to the combination of drug side effects and the toenail fungus infection, Karen effectively went blind.
Eventually, Karen’s toenail fungus infection spread to her leg, and doctors told her they would have to amputate it. Soon after, Karen ended up in the hospital with a severe respiratory problem linked to her toenail fungus infection.
Karen and her family decided to fight back, however. Instead of amputating the foot immediately, they started to research natural cures for toenail fungus:
“My husband Dale, however, refused to throw in the towel….He said we have 3 weeks before amputation….I’m going to figure something out…”
To make a long story short, Dale stumbled upon research from Japan discussing the benefits of “Kampo” treatment for foot fungus. They developed Fungus Elixir based on that treatment, and Karen rapidly alleviated her condition.

How Fungus Elixir Helped Karen’s Foot Fungus

Karen Holly, the creator of Fungus Elixir, developed her formula based on traditional Japanese Kampo treatment. She partnered with a Japanese “miracle worker” to create Fungus Elixir.
Before releasing Fungus Elixir to the world, Karen used the underlying recipe to treat her serious toenail fungus infection. Karen’s toenail fungus infection was so serious that she was facing leg amputation in under 3 weeks and had gone virtually blind. However, she rapidly alleviated her condition within weeks of taking Fungus Elixir. 1.5 years later, Karen has permanently eliminated her toenail fungus and has both of her legs – and perfect vision.
Here’s what happened after Karen started to take the Japanese remedy that eventually became Fungus Elixir:
Karen took a sip from a steaming mug of tea given to her by the Japanese healer. The tea was so bitter she could barely swallow it.
Within two minutes of drinking the tea, Karen’s blindness started to clear. Her “eyes started to get a little clearer” and she could see her husband’s face again. She didn’t have 20/20 vision, but she could safely walk by herself.
Over the next few hours, Karen’s vision “started to totally clear up.”
After taking the tea daily, Karen’s “fungus cleared up” and her “nails looked beautiful again.” She no longer had any threat to her life, nor did she need to amputate her leg.
Just 1.5 years after doctors told her they would need to amputate her leg, Karen remains fungus-free thanks to Fungus Elixir.
Despite having one of the most serious fungal infections possible, Karen had permanently eradicated her condition using the recipe behind Fungus Elixir.
Motivated by her success, Karen asked the Japanese healer for his recipe. They added his eight original ingredients and three bonus ingredients to the Fungus Elixir formula. Today, anyone can buy that formula online to enjoy similar fungus clearing benefits.

When I was on the junior varsity basketball team in high school, I wasn't surprised when I developed a case of itchy, flaky athlete's foot. After all, I was an "athlete," so I assumed it was a sign of dedication and hard work.
I was shocked when my mother told me the truth: it was due to poor foot hygiene, not my dribbling skills.
Fast-forward almost four decades, and I’m much more diligent about skin care. Still, some skin issues plague me at times, like they do many men. Here is a look at two common problems and solutions.

Dry skin

Symptoms of dry skin include scaly patches (with or without redness), itching, and overall dryness. You can get dry skin year-round — from the heavy heat of summer to the bitter cold of winter. Sun exposure damages skin, leaving it thinner and less likely to hold in moisture over time. Also, aging skin produces less of the natural oils that keep skin lubricated.
Treatment. The first line of defense is a moisturizer that softens and smooths skin with water and lipids (fats). Some moisturizers attract water to the skin and seal it in. Others prevent moisture loss by coating skin with a thick, impermeable layer.

• Petroleum jelly. This waxy, greasy substance stops water loss without clogging pores. It can be used by itself but is also an ingredient in many moisturizers and ointments. Because petroleum jelly doesn’t contain water, it’s best used while the skin is still damp after bathing to seal in moisture.
• Mineral oil. Mineral oil has the same effect but without a greasy feeling. It also should be used while skin is damp.
• Moisturizing lotions and creams. These products contain both water and oils. They’re less greasy and more cosmetically appealing than petroleum jelly or oils. Look for moisturizers with at least one of the following ingredients: glycerin, urea, pyroglutamic acid, sorbitol, lactic acid, lactate salts, or alpha hydroxy acids.

Prevention. Try a few changes to help prevent dry skin:

• Add moisture to the air with a humidifier or a pan of water set atop the radiator.
• In the shower or bath, use lukewarm water (hot water can dry the skin by stripping it of natural oils).
• Choose nondrying soaps with no abrasives or irritants. Super-fatted soaps or cleansing bars are less drying than regular, liquid, or antibacterial soaps.
• To retain the water your skin absorbs while showering or bathing, apply jelly, oil, or moisturizer immediately afterward.

Athlete’s foot

Athlete’s foot is caused by dermatophytes, a group of fungi on the surface of the skin. Tell-tale signs include intense itching; cracked, blistered, or peeling areas of skin, especially between the toes; and redness and scaling on the soles. Dermatophytes thrive in warm, moist environments like pools, showers, and locker rooms where people walk with bare feet. The warm, moist environment of sweaty socks and shoes encourages them to grow.
Treatment. First, try an over-the-counter antifungal ointment, cream, or powder, such as clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF, Mycelex, generic), terbinafine (Lamisil AT, Silka,), or miconazole (Lotrimin AF spray, Micatin). It can take weeks for an infection to improve, and recurrences are common. If symptoms don't improve after several weeks, consult a doctor, who may prescribe antifungal pills.
Prevention. Keeping feet clean and dry is the best way to ward off athlete’s foot. Also, do the following:

• Wash your feet well every day, and wear a clean pair of socks after your bath or shower.
• Take time to dry your feet thoroughly (including each toe and especially the web space between the toes) after you bathe, shower, or swim.
• Wear flip-flops or sandals around public pools and in gym locker rooms and showers.
• Wear moisture-wicking socks that absorb sweat.
• Don’t wear the same shoes two days in a row. Give shoes a 24-hour break between wearings to air out and dry.
