The well-spoken staffer who called 911 from Michael Jackson’s rented mansion the day he died has been identified.
The caller was Jackson’s bodyguard Alberto “Tippy” Alverez. Alverez’s voice can be heard on the 911 tape pleading for emergency medical assistance for his stricken boss: “We have a gentleman here who needs help, he’s not breathing, we’re trying to pump him but he’s not breathing,” said Alverez.
According to RadarOnline.com, Alverez’s wife Anna spoke with the media outside her home yesterday. She said her husband was “distraught” and in hiding. “My husband is very upset and he needs some time. He won’t be home for a while,” Anna said.
L.A. police have already interviewed Alverez as part of their ongoing investigation into Jackson’s untimely death.
Meanwhile, questions abound over the L.A. police department’s investigation tactics. Why didn’t the police seal the scene? Why were movers allowed to disturb the scene and remove property from Jackson’s house the day after his death?
There were reports that police confiscated bags of medications from Jackson’s home on June 25, the day Jackson died of a cardiac arrest, but those reports have not been confirmed. What we do know is there was a delay of at least four days before police arrived back at the residence with search warrants for prescription medications and other evidence.
“If I was the chief detective on the case, I would have said, ‘We don’t know what’s going on. We should seal the scene,'” said defense attorney Harland Braun, who has represented celebrities including Robert Blake, Roseanne and Gary Busey. “You always have to think of the worst-case scenario and you have to think fast. I would have sealed the scene just because it was Michael Jackson.” [link]
According to the AJC, Jean Rosenbluth, a University of Southern California law professor, said investigators might be looking into whether drugs came from out of state. Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, had offices in Houston and Las Vegas. He had a license to practice medicine in Texas, Nevada and California.
Rosenbluth said the police failure to seal the scene will work against them if charges are brought against a doctor for over prescribing medications for Jackson.
“If you can get even one juror think, I don’t know, maybe somebody fiddled with the medicine before the police came in and collected it, that’s reasonable doubt,” she said. “All that the defense attorney needs is one juror.”
I watch enough law and order to know that.. leave it to LA.

The old tampering with evidence. Sandra would say Obama did it. I think O J is behind this mess. I gotta blame somebody, right? I blame it on the Oh Oh OOOOhh Oh O J.
maybe because his own personal doc was there and it was not murder. I have never heard of sealing the scene when someone dies at home unless foul play was suspected. And why would foul play have been suspected if his personal dr was there?
actually they did seal off the scene. they were showing the scene of his house live the day this all first happened. the minute the police started roping off his house, that’s when fox and the other outlets went on to something else, the screen went black. my initial thought was ‘ok, something aint right.’ but nothing else was ever said of the scene that day. apparently it didn’t stay roped off, but it was at first.
come on. when people have money, u do what ur told from fear of losing ur job, cop or not. this is the catch 22 of having friends in high places or being rich. now that so much is leaving people scratching their heads, they wanna ask why stuff wasn’t done as it normally is done. cuz he’s influential with friends in high places. can’t have it both ways. NOOOWWWW people wanna follow the book. it’s much too late.
R.I.P. Mike! u were truly a genius!
