Michael Jackson's Doctor Conrad Murray Gets Raided by Drug Police

23 July 2009

Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray's offices have been raided by drug police on Wednesday (22Jul09) as part of their ongoing investigation into the King of Pop's death.

A squad of officers armed with a search warrant swooped on the medic's work premises in Houston, Texas, four weeks after Jackson's sudden death last month (25Jun09).

A fleet of vehicles carrying more than 20 officials from the Drug Enforcement Administration arrived outside the Armstrong Medical Clinic shortly before 11am local time. Two Los Angeles police officers and several local cops also joined in the raid.

They were reportedly set to seize all documents relating to Murray's treatment of Jackson, including medical notes, details of any drugs he was taking, and records of prescriptions Murray handed out to the star.

Several members of Jackson's family have urged officials to quiz Murray in recent weeks, amid growing claims there was "foul play" involved in the Thriller hitmaker's death.

Murray was with Jackson when he went into cardiac arrest at his rented home in Los Angeles on 25 June (09) and performed CPR on the star before emergency crews arrived.

As WENN went to press, it was unknown whether Murray was present during Wednesday's raid.
