Michael Jackson’s personal doctor spent three hours in a Los Angeles police station last night being quizzed by cops.
Dr Conrad Murray – who was with the King Of Pop when he died – spent Saturday afternoon being interviewed in a Los Angeles police station about the circumstances surrounding the pop star’s death.
He was accompanied by his lawyer Ed Chernoff.
Murray’s lawyers have insisted their client is a witness and is not considered a suspect in the Jackson’s death.
A spokesman for Murray’s lawyers, Texas-based firm Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, said last night: “Dr Conrad Murray and Mr Ed Chernoff, of Stradley, Chernoff & Alford, have met with the LAPD for the second time and have answered every and all questions asked by LAPD in an attempt to help piece together the mysteries surrounding the death of Michael Jackson.
“The meeting in Los Angeles today with police investigators lasted three hours.
“During the meeting Dr Murray helped identify the circumstances around the death of the pop icon and clarified some inconsistencies.”
According to reports police, in Los Angeles had struggled to get in touch with the doctor after Jackson died.
His lawyers denied that was the case.
“Dr Murray has been in Los Angeles since the death of Mr Jackson. He rode in the ambulance to the hospital and stayed at the hospital for hours comforting and consoling the Jackson family.
“Investigators say the doctor is in no way a suspect and remains a witness to this tragedy.
“Dr Murray will continue to co-operate fully with the authorities and asks that all keep the Jackson family in their prayers.
“Dr Murray was hired by Michael Jackson to accompany him on his concert tour in May of 2009. Dr Murray has offices in Las Vegas and Houston, Texas. Dr Murray will remain in Los Angeles until investigators no longer need his assistance with the investigation.”
