Michael Jackson’s heart beat briefly when he was taken from his rented Holmby Hills mansion to UCLA Medical Center, according to an attorney for the pop star’s father, Joe Jackson.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CNN, attorney Brian Oxman claims that Jackson might have been saved had paramedics and doctors gotten to him sooner.<\/p>\n

"The bottom line is, had [paramedics] gotten there earlier and had they been called right away, chances are he could have been revived," Oxman told CNN.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s unclear how Joe Jackson’s camp obtained the information about Michael Jackson’s heart or whether earlier medical intervention would have saved him.
<\/br><\/a><\/p>\n

The entertainer had high levels<\/a> of the powerful anesthetic propofol in his
\nsystem when he died, according to the L.A. County coroner’s office.<\/p>\n

Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson’s death. He has pleaded not guilty and maintains that he did nothing wrong.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Murray told investigators that Jackson, 50, was a chronic insomniac who
\nhad depended for years on propofol — a white liquid that the singer
\ncalled "milk" — to sleep, according to police affidavits filed in
\ncourt.<\/p>\n

But an anesthesiologist consulted by the coroner’s office wrote in the
\nreport that she knew of "no reports of its use for insomnia relief."<\/p>\n
