A disturbing picture of Michael Jackson lying dead on a hospital gurney emerged yesterday in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. Murray is the doctor on trial for the involuntary manslaughter of Jackson, accused of negligence leading to the pop star's death.
As a warning, I do show the photo below, so please exit the page if you do not wish to see. I debated using the picture and decided I would. ABC's website already had done so, convincing me it was newsworthy and not too "tabloid" for me to show.
Also heard in court was a recording of a drugged Michael Jackson on the telephone, sounding completely incoherent. Michael Jackson was preparing for a 50-date comeback tour when he passed away. The cause of death was the drug propofol, which was apparently legally prescribed to Jackson by Murray. The doctor could face 4 years in prison if convicted, as well as have his license revoked. Jackson died on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50.
To hear the phone call or for the latest on the Michael Jackson trial, head on over to ABC News. The manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray is expected to last for 6 weeks.
