Michael Jackson’s personal physician has posted a short video thanking his supporters.
The one-minute video posted on YouTube on Tuesday is the first time Dr Conrad Murray has spoken publicly since Jackson died on June 25. He is being investigated on manslaughter charges. Michael Jackson’s personal doctor, Dr Conrad Murray, releases a statement via YouTube. Murray thanked those who reached out to him with messages of support and said, “I told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail.” Murray is at the centre of the manslaughter investigation because he was with Jackson the day he died and has acknowledged giving him various medications, reportedly including powerful anaesthetics. Investigators say they are still weeks away from reaching a conclusion explaining how Jackson died, the Los Angeles Times reported. In the meantime, Jackson will be buried on August 29, the day the King of Pop would have turned 51, his family said in a statement on Tuesday.
The private ceremony – more than two months after his June 25 death from heart failure – will take place in Los Angeles and “will be limited to family and close friends” the statement said.
