Michael Jackson’s doctor admits there was an astonishing 30 minute delay for ambulance crews to arrive – saying he did not know the address to call them to.
Dr Conrad Murray desperately performed CPR on Jackson without calling 911.
By the time he raised the alarm, getting a security guard to make the emergency call, it was “about 25 to 30 minutes” before help arrived, his lawyer admits.
Now Dr Murray – who was living with Jackson – has told police the long delay was because he did not know Jackson’s address to be able to make the call himself.
The cardiologist’s attorney Ed Chernoff said: “In the Jackson house, in Michael Jackson’s room, there is no phone, no land line, and so there’s no way to call 911 and have an automated system to determine where the call is coming from.
“Dr Murray had his cell phone but he did not know the address of Michael Jackson’s house.
“He knew how to get there, he knew what road it was on, but he did not know the precise address so he couldn’t use cell phone.
“He called security from his cellphone while administering CPR and there was no answer.
“He continued to administer CPR, trying to revive Michael Jackson, and at some point he had to run downstairs and yell for help, finally locating the chef who got security up to the room and then the 911 call was made.”
The attorney insisted: “Throughout the whole of that 25 or 30 minutes before emergency personnel arrived, Dr Murray was performing CPR and trying to revive Mr Jackson.”
