Report: Conrad Murray Stopped CPR on Michael Jackson to Remove Drug Vials

New disturbing images of Michael Jackson's June 25 death have been revealed. According to a report from the Associated Press, Dr. Conrad Murray stopped administering CPR on the stricken star and delayed calling 911 so that he could dispose of drug vials in the room.

The report continues that Jackson's children, Prince and Paris, entered the room and cried as they watched Dr. Murray administer mouth-to-mouth.

The account was given to investigators in August by Alberto Alvarez, Jackson's logistics director. He was summoned to the pop star's side by another Jackson aide who received a frantic call from Murray after Jackson was unresponsive.

Alvarez said the doctor stopped CPR so he could hand him drug vials and told him to put them in a bag. It wasn't immediately clear what drugs were inside the vials Alvarez referred to when speaking to investigators, but TMZ reported Alvarez told investigators he saw Murray hiding bottles of propofol in a closet near the room where Jackson died.

Jackson died from an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol and two other sedatives administered by Murray.

Murray's lawyer questioned Alvarez's account, saying that in an earlier statement to police he did not mention the vials.

Michael Joseph Jackson is considered a hero by many. Generosity, countless achievements. Fans love immensely. Intensely too. Doesn't mean other heroes are disregarded. Addiction has nothing to do with adoration. Neither does false accusations. Always King. King Of Pop. Never diminished, or forgotten. Question is, what did quack do?
