Janet Jackson Blames Doctor For Michael’s Death
Posted by Richard Head
JANET Jackson says Michael’s doctor, Conrad Murray, is to blame for her superstar brother’s death — and she insists he should no longer be allowed to practice medicine.
“He was the one that was administering,” Janet told ABC in an interview that will air Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 10 p.m. ET. “I think he is responsible.”
Murray — who was Michael’s personal physician — remains the focus of a manslaughter investigation into the King of Pop’s death. He has admitted to administering the anesthetic propofol, but has denied giving Michael anything that should have killed him.
“It’s been a tough year,” Janet said. “You have your days where it’s just really — it’s hard to believe. And a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him.”
Jackson recounted the details of the morning of June 25, before she learned that Michael had collapsed, and her world turned upside down.
“I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call … [my assistant] said, ‘Your brother’s been taken to the hospital. It’s on CNN right now’.
“I called everyone. There’s a line busy or — someone wasn’t picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya.
“I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody’s calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that’s how I found out that he was no longer … I couldn’t believe it.”
Jackson said the she and the entire family were in a state of disbelief.
“It just didn’t ring true to me. It felt like a dream,” she said. “It’s still so difficult for me to believe. It’s, you know, you have to accept what is. But it’s hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that.”
