Conrad Murray, the doctor of Michael Jackson, has finally offered an apology to the late star’s parents…nearly two years post his death.
Although Murray, 58, asserts that he did not cause Michael Jackson’s death, he had not previously expressed remorse regarding the tragic incident that took place in his Hollywood residence in June 2009.
As he prepares for an involuntary manslaughter trial next month, he stated, “I am sorry for the loss. Michael was my friend.”
However, his comments further irritated the Jackson family as he remarked, “I feel that Michael’s children are like my children…I love them.”
A source close to the family expressed their discontent, saying, “It’s disgusting that Murray has taken so long to apologize. He is attempting to gain sympathy before the trial. The children haven’t seen him in nearly two years, and they don’t view him as a father in any shape or form.”
Michael Jackson’s death was due to a Propofol overdose, and while Murray acknowledges administering the drug, he contends that it was “not enough to kill him,” as he battles to exclude disturbing autopsy images and his personal issues from the upcoming trial.
