Michael Jackson could have still been with us today if his entourage hadn’t waited almost 50 minutes to call the emergency services after the King Of Pop collapsed.
Jackson biographer Stacy Brown has spoken to the King of Pop's family since his sudden death on Thursday, and reveals their concern at the delay.
Brown claims the star collapsed in the living room of his rented California home at 11.30am local time, but instead of calling 911, his security guard Tippy called Jackson's father Joseph, while his doctor Conrad Murray administered CPR.
He tells the New York Post, "Joseph screamed at them to call for help. A huge commotion ensued about why 911 wasn't being called and why he wasn't getting help."
Emergency services were eventually called at 12.21pm. Jackson was declared dead at UCLA Medical Center at 2.26pm, but it has been reported that he was already dead when paramedics arrived on the scene.
