Diane Dimond on the 911 Call Controversy

Canvas background demo

 

Investigative journalist Diane Dimond, who has been covering Michael Jackson since 1993, breaks down the events leading to the King of Pop's death and why it took 30 minutes for the 911 call to be made.

"Nobody was in charge," Diane claims. "Michael Jackson was always in charge and now he was incapacitated."

Reports are saying that it was 30 minutes from the discovery of Michael's unconscious body to the time that the 911 call was placed. During this time, cardiologist Conrad Murray was attempting to revive Michael with CPR. It is also reported that there was no phone in the room, so the doctor had to leave to go get the security guard who made the 911 call.

"The doctor's attorney says at this point that Michael was alive, he had a pulse, he was warm to the touch," Diane continues. "My sources tell me that when the paramedics got there seven minutes later, he was cold to the touch and he wasn't breathing."

Diane says that while she wishes the 911 call had been sooner, it might not have made a difference, depending upon the amount of drugs in his system.

"That is why we wait for toxicology report," she says. "The toxicology reports are going to be so important because they take slices of your vital organs -- the liver, the kidney, the heart. They take your hair. It is like rings on a tree and they can tell how long you have been taking drugs and what damage you have done to each of your organs. The toxicology report is going to lay this whole thing out for us."
