Michael Jackson’s chef, Kai Chase, is speaking out about the day the King of Pop died and the role played by the singer’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray.

Chase said she knew something was amiss when Murray didn’t come downstairs to get the juices and granola he routinely brought Michael Jackson each morning.

Kai also said she was also used to seeing the doctor coming down the steps carrying oxygen tanks. But Murray didn’t come downstairs on the morning of June 25.

“I thought maybe Mr. Jackson is sleeping late,” Chase said.

“I started preparing the lunch and then I looked at my cell phone and it was noon. About 12:05 or 12:10 Dr. Murray runs down and screams, ‘Go get Prince!'”

“He’s screaming loud. I run to the den where the kids are playing. Prince runs to meet Dr. Murray and from then on, the energy in the house just changed.”

“I walked into the hall and I saw the children there. The daughter (Paris Jackson) was crying,” Kai Chase continued. “I saw paramedics running up the stairs.”

Celebrity chef Kai Chase has also worked with numerous other stars.

Then, a small group consisting of the three children, their nanny (Grace Rwaramba) and Chase held hands and began to pray in a circle, the chef recalled.

As paramedics raced to the room – with Jackson already dead – Chase said, “We were all praying, ‘Help Mr. Jackson be O.K.’ “Then everyone was very quiet.”

At about 1:30 p.m. she said that security guards told her and other staff to leave the property because “Mr. Jackson was being taken to the hospital.”

Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m.

Authorities raided the home and office of Murray’s in Las Vegas Tuesday, following a raid last week at his clinic and storage facility in Houston last week.

Investigators believe Jackson died from a fatal dose of Propofol, an anesthetic allegedly supplied by Dr. Conrad Murray sometime the morning of June 25.
