Jackson doctor ‘never revealed use of anaesthetic’

THE doctor charged over Michael Jackson’s death never revealed that he had given the singer a powerful anaesthetic, a paramedic told a jury hearing the doctor’s involuntary manslaughter case.

Paramedic Richard Senneff said Dr Conrad Murray told him that he had only given Jackson the sedative lorazepam, and Murray had initially said Jackson was not suffering from any condition.

Murray eventually told medics that he was treating the singer for exhaustion and dehydration, Mr Senneff said.
