Michael Jackson - Conrad Murray's Medical License Suspended
04 January 2012 01:41


Michael Jackson's incarcerated former physician DR. Conrad Murray has been dealt another big blow - his medical license has been suspended.
The embattled medic has been behind bars since early November (11) when he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for administering the fatal dose of anaesthetic propofol, which cost the King of Pop his life in 2009. Murray was sentenced to serve four years in prison.
And now he has started off 2012 by being stripped of his medical credentials by members of the Medical Board of California.
The action is automatically taken when a physician is convicted of a felony and handed a jail sentence, according to Tmz.com.

Convicted Jackson doctor asked to return Calif. medical license

(Reuters) - Michael Jackson's former doctor, convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the singer's 2009 death, has been asked by the California Medical Board to return his license, an official said on Tuesday.

Dr. Conrad Murray was formally asked on December 29 to surrender the medical certificate as a result of his felony conviction, said Dan Wood, a spokesman for the medical board.

The physician was convicted in November of causing Jackson's death in a manslaughter case that centred on Murray's use of the powerful anesthetic propofol to help the singer sleep.

Authorities said the propofol combined with sedatives caused Jackson, 50, to stop breathing and die at his Los Angeles mansion.

Murray, who was sentenced to four years behind bars, remains in jail and has until the middle of this month to return the certificates, Wood said.

Following that, the California Medical Board will at a later date move to revoke Murray's medical license, Wood said.
