Michael Jackson‘s older brother Tito has lashed out at the tragic singer’s doctor for not acting quickly enough.

Tito, 55, accused Dr Conrad Murray of dithering as he tried to resuscitate his stricken brother when Jacko collapsed at his Los Angeles home.

“My opinion is that he panicked when my brother didn’t wake up,” Tito told the UK’s Daily Mirror newspaper in a new interview.

“I think the doctor probably figured he was in trouble and he tried to revive Michael.

“He did have a pulse but he couldn’t bring him back.

“I don’t know what the time lapse was between the doctor finding him and when he called paramedics.

“But I believe if he had immediately called for help we might still have my brother here today, he would definitely still be alive.

“The CPR attempt is one of the things I noticed that was very strange.

“CPR is one of the first things you learn to do as a doctor, and you don’t do it on a soft bed.”

Murray yesterday insisted he wasn’t responsible for the King of Pop’s death.

“I did not give Michael anything that should have led to his death,” Murray told UK newspaper The People. “I do not know anything more than anyone else about what killed Michael — but it wasn’t me.

“It’s human nature to try and find a scapegoat but if I was the focus of a criminal probe I would have been told by now.

“I have been told nothing even though I have been co-operating with the police since Day One.”
