Michael Jackson’s doctor is talking to authorities. Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston-based physician, was living at Jackson’s home and reportedly was with him at the time he went into cardiac arrest.

TMZ is highlighting that a shot of Demerol may have caused Jackson’s death and that he received the morphine-like drug at 11:30AM Thursday. Family patriarch Joe Jackson wanted to put his son into rehab for drug addiction, says TMZ.

Family members say they felt he was unable to perform for his upcoming concerts because of his drug use.

Members of the upcoming tour tell TMZ Jackson was generally lethargic and very late for rehearsals.

There are reports Jackson OD’d yesterday on Demerol, a drug similar to morphine.

Here is the 911 call from Jackson’s home.
