Jackson employee tells police doctor stopped CPR on singer

AS Michael Jackson lay dying in his bedroom in a rented mansion, his doctor stopped CPR on him and delayed calling paramedics so he could collect drug vials at the scene, according to an employee of the pop star who called 911.

Alberto Alvarez, who worked as Jackson’s logistics director, told investigators that after receiving a distress call from another worker on June 25, he entered a bedroom to find the singer lying on a bed with his arms outstretched and his eyes and mouth open.

Jackson’s personal physician Dr Conrad Murray was administering CPR with one hand, he said.
