Audio Of Paramedics Struggling To Save Jackson Has Emerged
The audio recording is understood to feature a Los Angeles Fire Department paramedic calling the UCLA hospital to announce that the ‘King of Pop’ was on his way. The unknown medical worker says Michael is “unresponsive”, not breathing and had no pulse when the resuscitation team arrived at his Los Angeles home.
The voice on the tape obtained by British newspaper The Sun says: “Patient is Michael Jackson, the pop star singer. No pulse, no breathing. Unresponsive. Tried to resuscitate him. Unsuccessful.
“We've done everything we can. We should be there in five minutes. It doesn't look good. It doesn't look good.”
Jackson was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. His cause of death was later found to be acute Propofol intoxication by another. Michael’s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
If the tape is genuine, it could be used in Murray’s trial as it contradicts his testimony that Michael was warm and had a pulse when he put him into an ambulance.
The tape was found on an ambulance workers’ internet forum. A Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman was unable to confirm if the tape was authentic.
“I couldn't confirm that is one of our workers,” he said. “It could be. They refer to 'pop star Michael Jackson' but it is not our practice to name names.”
