Jackson's personal physician center of manslaughter investigation

A criminal manslaughter investigation into the death of Michael Jackson has identified his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, as a suspect, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday. On Wednesday, a search was conducted in Dr. Murrays clinic in Houston, authorities examined receipts, billing and medical records, medication orders, and "instruments used in the commission of a crime."

During the 3-hour search, authorities confiscated a computer, a Rolodex Card, and one of Murray's employees' e-mails. Also taken were a vial of appetite suppressants, Phentermine, and a muscle relaxant called Clonazepam. Murray, whom Jackson hired at $150,000 a month, found Jackson in his home and administered CPR when the singer was found on June 25.

Edward Chernoff, Murray's lawyer, denies that anything confiscated relates to Jackson's death and asserted that nothing given by Murray to Jackson should have caused Jackson's death.
