California's attorney general asked a court on Tuesday to bar Michael Jackson's former doctor, Conrad Murray, from practicing medicine while he faces charges in connection with the pop star's death.
Murray was attending to Jackson, 50, before his sudden death last June 25 and police say he has admitted to investigators that he gave the singer the drug Propofol to help him sleep. The powerful anaesthetic is typically used on patients undergoing surgery.
The Doctor is alleged to have administered a lethal dose of Propofol and other powerful drugs to patient Michael Jackson, which resulted in Michael's death.
Murray, a cardiologist who was hired last May to care for Jackson as the entertainer prepared for a series of comeback concerts, has pleaded not guilty. He is free on $75,000 bail and faces four years in prison if convicted.
Murray has been the focus of a police probe since the Los Angeles coroner's office ruled Jackson's death was a homicide, caused by Propofol and the sedative lorazepam.
Toxicology tests following an autopsy also found painkillers, sedatives and a stimulant in Jackson's body.
