Edward Chernoff, attorney for Michael Jackson’s physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, allegedly the last person to handle Jackson or see him alive, made a statement to the Associated Press that he did not prescribe the drugs rumored to have killed the King of Pop.

“Dr. Murray has never prescribed nor administered Demerol to Michael Jackson,” Chernoff said. He also reveals that Murray discovered a faint pulse after finding Jackson’s body. As to whether Murray mishandled the treatment is uncertain. We are awaiting the results of a second autopsy.

The question remains, what triggered the cardiac arrest?
