Doctor Murray, what took you so long? Authorities and investigators want to know why Dr. Conrad Murray took so long to call police after Michael Jackson stopped breathing. Dr. Murray was the personal physician of Jackson when he died. Authorities have ruled Jackson’s death a homicide. They are citing a lethal dose of an anesthesia as the cause of death. When Jackson stopped breathing, where was Dr. Murray? Why did he leave Jackson’s side? Authorities say Jackson was left alone after he stopped breathing for over an hour before police were notified. Criminal charges will be filed, and Dr. Murray, who says he did nothing wrong, has very good reason to be worried. Dr. Murray says he doesn’t want to be the fall guy, but all fingers are pointing to him.
