TMZ reports that Dr. Conrad Murray plans to surrender this week to Los Angeles authorities in connection with Michael Jackson’s death.
Murray recently arrived in Los Angeles from Houston in anticipation of a decision from the district attorney’s office, spokeswoman Miranda Sevcik said.
“Dr. Murray is in Los Angeles for a dual purpose — on family business and to be available for law enforcement,” Sevcik said in a statement. “We’re trying to be as cooperative as we can.”
Los Angeles County District Attorney is expected to charge Dr. Murray with involuntary manslaughter this week in Jackson’s June 25 death from an anesthetic overdose. Murray has denied criminal wrongdoing.
“Dr. Murray is more than ready to surrender and answer to any charges,” said Ed Chernoff, one of Murray’s lawers, adding that prosecutors have not announced any charges, and Murray has not been told how or where he should surrender.
