London, August 25 (ANI): The lawyer representing Michael Jackson’s personal physician Conrad Murray has denied that the medic left the star to make phone calls after giving him powerful anaesthetic Propofol.

Ed Chernoff sough to clarify allegations partially made after the emergence of a court affidavit in Houston, Texas.

The contents came to light as reports claimed that the Los Angeles County coroner had concluded that Jackson’s death was homicide, and that he had lethal levels of Propofol in his body when he died on June 25.

Murray was alleged to have left the singer alone to make some telephone calls, and found Jackson not breathing after his return.

But Chernoff slammed the claims involving Murray, who is at the centre of a manslaughter probe and has denied any wrongdoing.

“Much of what was in the search warrant affidavit is factual,” the Telegraph quoted Chernoff as saying.

“However, unfortunately, much is police theory. Most egregiously, the timeline reported by law enforcement was not obtained through interviews with Dr Murray, as was implied by the affidavit.

“Dr Murray simply never told investigators that he found Michael Jackson at 11:00 am not breathing. He also never said that he waited a mere 10 minutes before leaving to make several phone calls. In fact, Dr Murray never said that he left Michael Jackson’s room to make phone calls at all,” he added. (ANI)
