Jackson Doctor Never Mentioned Propofol At Hospital

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Prosecutors in the manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's doctor sought to prove Monday that his physician misled hospital doctors on the day of the singer's death, and was busy on his phone around the time the pop star stopped breathing.
Los Angeles hospital doctors testified that Jackson was already dead when he arrived there on June 25, 2009, and that there was nothing they could have done to save the pop star.
The involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray entered its second week Monday. Medical examiners have determined Jackson, 50, died from an overdose of propofol and sedatives.
"Mr. Jackson died long before he became a patient I was personally responsible for," said UCLA Medical Center emergency room doctor Richelle Cooper.
Nevertheless, lengthy attempts were made to revive Jackson before he was formally pronounced dead.
Cardiologist Thao Nguyen said Murray pleaded with staff not to give up. "He sounded desperate and he looked devastated," Nguyen testified.
Murray told the doctors that he had given Jackson only the sedative lorazepam.
