Jackson doc 'misses court hearing'
Friday, October 9 2009

Michael Jackson's former doctor Conrad Murray may be taken into custody after he missed a scheduled court hearing.

The medical practitioner, who is being investigated in a manslaughter probe into the death of the singer, skipped a legal hearing over late child support payments.

Murray was to appear in a Las Vegas courtroom to explain why he was behind on the restitution, PA reports.

Clark County district attorney David Rogers said that the physician's non-attendance could result in him being served an arrest warrant within 10 days' time.

He stated: "At that time we'll send our investigators out to locate and arrest Dr Murray."

Rogers added that he planned to call the Nevada state medical board to have Murrray's licence suspended over the outstanding monies owed.

Court documents have suggested that Murray administered the drug propofol to the popstar in order to aid his sleep depravation. Jackson's passing has been ruled as homicide.
