Son 'watched Michael Jackson die'

Michael Jackson's eldest son was forced to watch his father die, the singer's family says.

The pop superstar's personal physician, Dr Conrad Murray, allegedly made 12-year-old Prince Michael I watch his attempts to resuscitate him after he suffered a suspected cardiac arrest as he wanted a witness.

However, the Jackson family believe Michael had already been dead for at least two hours and Murray's actions left Prince "understandably traumatised".

Dr Hoefflin, a family friend speaking on behalf of Michael's mother Katherine, told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I have been told by the family and from talking to the children that on the day Michael died, Dr Murray actually got one of the Jackson children - it was Prince Michael I - to personally come into the bedroom to watch him perform CPR on his father.

"The family have told me Dr Murray ensured Prince Michael understood the CPR procedure and that he was doing it correctly. It is the family's belief that this was intended to show a member of Michael's family that he was trying to bring Michael back to life.

"In my opinion Dr Murray should have known Michael was already dead and I believe that is the reason he didn't move him from the bed to the harder surface of the floor to perform CPR."

While Prince still struggles to come to terms with his father's death his 11-year-old sister Paris is dealing with her grief by sleeping with a teddy bear her dad gave her.

Michael's brother Jermaine said: "Paris sleeps with a teddy bear with Michael's scent on - it's so cute. It's a little doll that he gave her and she sleeps holding it every night."

Prince and Paris are also helping their younger brother, seven-year-old Prince Michael II, known as 'Blanket', come to terms with the loss of their beloved father.

Jermaine added: "I think 'Blanket' understands his dad has passed because of the ceremony we had. Prince and Paris are very bright and they have tried to explain it to him. And there is therapist with them to get through this time as well."

Meanwhile, lawyers handling Michael's estate are seeking a court-ordered allowance for his three children and mother Katherine.

A lawyer representing the temporary executors of his estate asked a judge to approve the allowance and the requests will be considered on August 3.
