Doctor ‘left after injecting Michael Jackson with powerful painkillers at home clinic'

Michael Jackson’s personal doctor left the star’s mansion after injecting him with powerful drugs, it has been alleged.

• The influential Hollywood website TMZ – which first reported the star’s death – said investigators believe Dr Conrad Murray used his suite at Jackson’s Beverly Hills villa as a ‘home clinic’ and had a separate residence.
• ‘Dr Conrad Murray was not living at Michael Jackson’s home when the singer died,’ TMZ reported last night.
• ‘Authorities believe Dr Murray generally showed up in the evenings to administer drugs and left during the day.’
• Law enforcement sources said they believe Murray was living in the smart seaside resort of Santa Monica, where he had installed one of a reported string of mistresses in a love nest.
• The married cardiologist – who was paid £100,000 a month by Jackson – met stripper Nicole Alvarez, 27, at a Las Vegas club, said a friend, Ben Harris Jnr.
• Ms Alvarez declined to comment but a birth certificate states that the doctor is the father of her baby, Che Murray, born on March 2.
• The Mail on Sunday revealed last week that Jackson suffered a drug-fuelled emotional breakdown in the hours before his death.
• The tormented superstar took powerful painkillers, read the Bible and scribbled dark, nightmarish poetry before asking Murray to ‘put him out’, according to his confidant and biographer, Ian Halperin.
• ‘The [anaesthetic] wouldn’t be administered in Michael’s room but in the doctor’s room, which was kept under lock and key,’ Halperin said.
• Authorities are investigating Murray for suspected manslaughter. He maintains his innocence.
