"The Insider" has obtained a letter from Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's former personal physician who is now being investigated for manslaughter, written to his patients in June explaining that he was leaving his medical practice indefinitely for a "once in a lifetime opportunity."

In his June 15 letter to "patients and friends," Murray said he was seeking a "suitable replacement [doctor]" for himself, but intended to "manage the practice, and be involved as much as possible [from afar]," stating also, "please know my absence is not permanent."

Authorities raided Murray's offices on Wednesday, searching for manslaughter evidence in their investigation into the death of the King of Pop, who passed away on June 25.

  • rather Michael Jackson was an addct or not, the bottom line is Dr. Conrad shouldn't have been distribuing protofol to Michael anyway. Therefore it is murder if he put him under & he didn't wake and you missing for 3 days after his death , didn't...

  • can you imagine, a MD not just an MD, but a Cardiologist that does not know how to do CPR properly. They should throw the book at him, but maybe he could try and save his sorry behind and give up some other people.

  • I believe he was in it for his money! He disappeared after the tragic death of Michael. Not only that, he performed CPR on Michael BUT on the bed. CPR is meant to be done on flat surface/floor. Not only that, security cameras taped MJs last moments...

  • I think he was in it for the money. He wasn't qualified and when things went awry..like maybe he fell asleep on duty, he panicked and cost Michael his life. All the drugs that have yet to be disclosed, besides the Propofol I am sure will be...

  • For sure he is a big catch. But the underlying fact is MJ was a drug addict.

  • HOW CAN SOMEONE DO THIS TO A PERSON WHO HAS HELPED HIM IN THE PAST. i HOPE THEY THROW THE BOOK AT HIM. FROM A MOTHER WHO LOST HER SON!
  • i dont trust him he was only in it for the money could he have been working for someone
  • Dr. Murray was leaving the practice of medicine indefinitely and would manage the practice from a distance. To me is sounds like he knew he would lose his medical license and would need to leave the country.

  • He said he was giving up practicing medicine indefinitely. This would include being Michael's private physician. Did he plan to do something that would force him to lose his license to practice medicine? Otherwise, it would not have to be so...
