One of the paramedics who responded to an emergency call to Michael Jackson's home on 25 June, 2009 has described the frantic efforts to save the singer's life.
Richard Senneff, a Fire Department paramedic, told a Los Angeles court that, when he arrived, he saw a patient who looked as if he had a chronic health problem - his skin was cool to the touch and his eyes were dry.
He described several attempts being made to revive the singer, who was not breathing and had no heart beat.
Mr Senneff said he had asked Dr Conrad Murray several times about the popstar's medical history and if he had been given any drugs.
He said Dr Murray had told him the singer had no underlying health condition and that he had given him a drug called Lerazapan, a mild sedative.
He said at no time had the doctor mentioned giving Michael Jackson a surgical anaesthetic, propofol, to help him sleep.
The BBC reports that, in the opening days of the trial, the prosecution has attempted to show that Dr Murray delayed calling emergency services and tried to conceal the fact that he had been giving Jackson doses of propofol.
Dr Murray denies involuntary manslaughter.
