A former doctor for Michael Jackson has claimed the pop star’s eldest son was called in to act as a witness as Dr. Conrad Murray performed CPR on the singer.
Dr. Steven Hoefflin, Jackson’s plastic surgeon for three decades, claimed to Access Hollywood he was speaking out with the permission of Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson.
“Dr. Murray actually got… Prince Michael to personally come into the bedroom to watch him performing CPR on his father,” Hoefflin claimed to Access on Friday.
Hoefflin claimed the family told him that 12-year-old Prince Michael Jackson watched in horror so Murray would have an eyewitness to his resuscitative attempt.
Hoefflin also claimed he learned that Michael Jackson was dead for at least two hours before arriving at the hospital.
Murray’s rep won’t comment on the ongoing investigation.
