EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Conrad Murray ‘Michael Jackson knew he was going to die’

Michael Jackson’s former doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, has opened up in an exclusive interview with Be about his friendship with the late singer.

Murray – who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for administering sedative Propofal to MJ, causing him to fall unconscious and eventually stop breathing in 2009 – says the 'King of Pop' predicted he was going to die.

"Michael had a lot of secrets that he carried around like a burden. He did say he was a clairvoyant. He said to me, ‘Conrad, my life and your life will become inseparable for the rest of time. Because I’m clairvoyant you’ll see’,” the disgraced doctor exclusively told Be.

"This is why I decided to write the book. It has been seven years since it all started, this major catastrophe in my life and the loss of Michael. He had said to me that he wanted his story to be told."

Murray has come to prominence after he was sentenced to the maximum penalty of four years of incarceration in 2011. But now he’s released a new book titled, This Is It!: The Secret lives of Dr. Conrad Murray and Michael Jackson, which he says sets the record straight.

When asked if he regrets ever meeting MJ, he replied: "Oh my goodness, every day. This has been a disaster in every way."

"Michael never shared with me his drug problem, that’s one thing I hold him responsible for. I’m upset with him about that. He compromised my livelihood, my entire career, by not telling me about it. I would not have been around him if I knew he was doing that."

Murray is adamant that the Beat It singer took another drug behind his back on the night he died, which he believes reacted with the 25ml of Propofal sedative he administered.

"I was definitely a scape goat. I was a person who the Jackson’s thought they could blame,” Murray declares. "But in the book, I’ve discussed and published emails, that [Michael’s family] were trying to get me to make a false declaration while incarnated. It was all about money. It wasn’t about their love for Michael, I don’t think mattered to them."

But if there’s anyone Murray would like to reach out to, it’s MJ’s kids, Paris, Prince and Blanket.

"If the kids ever wanted to meet me, I’d be happy to chat to the kids,” he reveals. “I care about those children too much. I love them."

Murray also reveals Michael wanted to expand his family and says “he wanted to have a total of 12 children. His dad is father to 12 children.”

What's more, he says the Thriller singer would often open up to Murray about his past relationships with Lisa Marie Presley and his baby mama Debbie Rowe. But while he says they visited strip clubs together, the fallen medical practitioner describes MJ as “asexual” and "shy".

And despite spending four years in prison, which he describes as a “painful experience”, Murray says he does still miss his old friend.

“[I would love to see him again]. Without hesitation,” Murray added.

“Oh my god, it would be…. Wow. We’d have a lot of talking to do. We’ve got to shout and scream first of all. We’d have to have a long talk. I’ve been to hell and back, there’s no doubt about that. It’s been a major disaster.”
