Los Angeles, June 17: Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that Michael Jackson’s doctor requested but never received resuscitation equipment and a medical assistant, from the concert promoter organising the singer’s London shows.
The requests are revealed in emails and a proposed contract detailing Dr Conrad Murray’s negotiations with concert promoter AEG Live.
The documents are included in a complaint filed by Jackson’s father, Joe, to the California Medical Board against AEG Live. The complaint accuses the company of forcing Murray to provide Jackson with dangerous medical services.
Murray faces an involuntary manslaughter charge in Jackson’s death. His contract with AEG was not finalised before the singer’s death.
Michael Roth, an AEG spokesperson, said the company had not seen Joe Jackson’s complaint and could not comment on it or the contract.
