Michael Jackson Death Trial: Witness Describes How Paris Screamed as Father Died
Watching in horror as their father was dying, Michael Jackson's children experienced unbelievable trauma in the moments around his death. The children watched as Dr Conrad Murray tried to resuscitate the pop star, and Alberto Alvarez, the singer's body guard, has described how daugher Paris was screaming "Daddy!" as he died.
Alvarez took the stand on day three of the Michael Jackson Death trial and testified of the young girl's screams for her father.
"She was crying," Alvarez said to the courtroom. He says he then turned to both children and said "'Kids don't worry, we'll take care of it. Everything's going to be okay.' Then I asked Dr. Murray what happened and he said, 'He had a bad reaction’."

Alvarez noted how he saw Jackson laying palms up with medical equipment everywhere. He goes on to describe Jackson's mouth and eyes being open, as well as a condom catheter with drained urine on the floor.
Dr. Murray then shouted toward Alvarez saying "Don't let them see their dad like this," as he continued chest compressions on Jackson.
After a few more minutes of this, Murray began packing up the medical supplies in the room and asked Alvarez for help.
Thinking he was helping Murray bring necessary supplies to the hospital, Alvarez helped move the medical equipment for the doctor. He claims he never imagined that he was helping to clean a crime scene.
"I believed that Dr. Conrad Murray had the best intentions for Mr. Jackson," he testified.
It's been established Murray never called 911 and he advised others in the home not to as well. Alvarez eventually called against the doctor's wishes and said to the dispatcher: "He's not responding to anything...He's not responding to CPR or anything.”
It is still unclear as to why Jackson's two oldest children, Prince Michael and Paris, were called to the room by Murray. Family members reportedly fear that them seeing the dramatic scenes of their father’s death could cause future trauma.
