Report leaves Jacko's Dr with some tricky questions to answer.

THIS is Michael Jackson's controversial doctor coming out of hiding for the first time since the star's death.

The News of the World found weary- looking Conrad Murray stepping out of a hotel in Los Angeles after a secret meeting with his lawyer, Ed Chernoff.

The doc, who faces a possible murder charge over the death of the megastar, looked frazzled and stressed. His face was partially hidden under a baseball cap and sunglasses.

Death

Cardiologist Murray, 57, is the only police suspect in relation to Jacko's death in June, caused by an overdose of powerful anaesthetic IV Propofol.

Since then, the doctor has been in hiding following police raids on his homes and business across the States.

Last night a former patient, Jack Hammond, expressed concern for Murray "We used to speak regularly, but since Jackson's death I've not heard anything," he said. "He's suffering - he has no income and no business. I can't believe he had anything to do with it. He went out of his way to help patients."

Lawyers

Another friend, Frank Barber, told us: "No one has spoken to him since he went to LA. He's been told not to speak by his lawyers."

Detectives say the doctor, who was the last person to see Jacko alive, admitted giving him sleeping tablets and Propofol hours before his death. But Murray will claim it was Jackson who administered the fatal dose.

OMG! How ironic, or perhaps not. The book is Gerald Posner's new book Miami Babylon. I'm reading it now. The book is all about crime, corruption, money, fame and drugs, and links notorious business people and extremely famous celeb, including MJ, to Miami Beach's underworld and high society glitz. I once saw Posner on the tube talking about MJ and the doc and think he said he also wrote a book on Motown a long time ago.

I hope anyone who has to do with Mr. Jackson`s death should pay. I followed and being a fan of him since 3 decades and nothing could have gone worst for this wonderful person MICHAEL J.JACKSON was.
I also ask N.O.T.W. not to call him l Jacko, is very unrespectful and hurting for millions who love him. Michael Jackon was a very honourable person, despite media prefers not showing it . Thank you all
