He subsequently completed residency in internal medicine at Loma Linda University in 1992 and fellowship in cardiology at University of Arizona in 1995, followed by fellowship in interventional cardiology[1].

ABC News reported that Murray's partner in his Houston office had his license revoked and the clinic shut down in 2002 for improperly dispensing medication. Law enforcement officials reportedly called the clinic a "pill mill".[3]
The doctor, who joined Jackson's camp in May 2009 as part of his London concert agreement with AEG Live, has been interviewed by police twice but has not been considered a suspect in the singer's death. Officials from the Drug Enforcement Administration executed a warrant at Dr Conrad Murray's offices in Houston, Texas reportedly looking for "items constituting evidence of the offense of manslaughter". [4][5][6]
