The attorney representing Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's personal physician, has released a statement to ET about the investigation into the pop star's death.
Dr. Murray's attorney says that Murray has been fully cooperative with investigators, and will be answering questions to authorities through most of Saturday.
The statement also says that Dr. Murray is a witness and not a suspect in the death investigation of Michael Jackson, adding that Dr. Murray was "distraught" over the pop star's death, rode to the hospital with Jackson on Thursday, and made "frantic attempts to revive him."
The full statement reads:
"Investigators in L.A. are currently looking into the death of Michael Jackson. Dr. Conrad Murray has been in Los Angeles since Michael Jackson's death and has fully cooperated with investigators. Dr. Murray will likely be answering questions for most of the day with investigators. Dr. Murray has retained the Houston law firm of Stradley, Chernoff & Alford. Edward Chernoff, a partner in the firm, is currently meeting with investigators in Los Angeles.
"Investigators have made it clear to Mr. Chernoff that Dr. Murray is considered to be a witness to the events surrounding Michael Jackson's death and he is not a suspect. Dr. Murray hired legal counsel to help guide him through the police investigation process. The law firm was hired to make sure the police investigation is conducted properly. Dr. Murray rode with Michael Jackson to the hospital and made frantic attempts to revive him along the way. Dr. Murray considered himself to be a friend of Michael Jackson and he is very distraught over his death. He will continue to cooperate in every respect."
