“They looked for evidence of manslaughter”
The police did on Wednesday a large raid of Michael Jackson’s doctor Conrad Murray.

Over 24 police officers went through his Houston clinic.

- They looked for evidence of manslaughter, Murray’s lawyer said in a statement.

Los Angeles police together with narcotic enforcers raided Michael Jackson’s private doctor Conrad Murray’s clinic in Houston today, reports ABC News.

24 policemen in the raid came in a caravan of 15 cars to the doctor’s office in the morning U.S. time.

They left with the contents of a hard drive and 21 documents.

Cause of death: Propofol
Conrad was the last person who saw Jackson in life. There have been loud speculation that he may be liable for Jackson’s death.

The cops said that they got permission to raid this morning, after the preliminary results of the autopsy of Michael Jackson was completed. Post-mortem examination shows that the cause of death has to do with the drug Propofol, a substance used to anesthetize patients.

The reason for the search is that the cops want to clarify whether Conrad Murray prescribed proposol to Jackson. Something he and his lawyer refused to answer.

Jackson’s death a crime
The investigation of the popstars dead is now classed as a criminal investigation.

“The authorization to raid allowed the police to search and seize items, including documents, which may constitute evidence of homicide,” writes Conrad Murray attorney Edward Chernoff at the law firm’s website.

Conrad Murray has two clinics. One in Houston and one in Las Vegas. The practice in Houston is in the Armstrong Medical Clinic. A clinic owned by a doctor who lost his license to prescribe drugs in 2005 – after he “over prescribed”, said drug police.

Murray has been questioned twice before and in a statement – before the raid – said his lawyer that he cooperate with the investigation.
