Police now believe that Murray, who's being investigated for manslaughter, may have hooked Jackson up to an IV drip of Propofol and fallen asleep himself, causing him to miss the fact that Jackson's heart had stopped beating.
Also according to TMZ, police are searching Murray's Las Vegas home this morning. the police reportedly arrived with a search warrant for Jackson's medical records. Last week, agents for the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and Los Angeles Police Department officers searched Murray's Houston office.[source:celebuzz.com]
