Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, screamed "Daddy" when she saw her father lying with his arms outstretched, his mouth open and his lifeless eyes looking at her, while his doctor tried to hide vials of propofol, one of Jackson's bodyguards said today at Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial.
Alberto Alvarez, the first of Jackson's bodyguards to enter the king of pop's bedroom the day he died, testified at the trial about the frantic efforts to revive the singer.
Alvarez testified that Murray, Jackson's personal physician, tried to discard the vials and an IV bag containing propofol before first responders arrived at the mansion. Murray could face four years in prison if convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the overdosing death of Jackson. Jackson died June 25, 2009.

Alvarez said he received a panicked call from Jackson's assistant and ran from the security trailer adjacent to Jackson's home to the singer's bedroom. Alvarez had only been on the second floor of the mansion twice before.

Jackson's nanny let Alvarez into the home. He ran up the stairs.
"When he [Conrad Murray] saw me, he said, 'Alberto come, come quick,'" Alvarez said.
Murray was administering CPR with his left hand to Jackson who was lying in bed, Alvarez said.
"I remember seeing him [Jackson] and he was laying on his back with his hands extended out ... and I observed that his eyes were slightly open … and his mouth was open," Alvarez said. "His face was slightly towards the left."
Murray told Alvarez that they needed to get Jackson to a hospital. It was Alvarez who would call 911.
"I was reaching for my phone in my pocket and as I was doing that Prince and Paris came behind me ... Paris screamed Daddy," he said. "Dr. Conrad Murray said, 'Don't let them see their dad like this' … I preceded to turn around to the children and kind of ushered them out and said, 'Kids don't worry, we'll take care of it, everything's going to be OK."
Then Murray requested Alvarez to help him discard of vials and a saline bag hanging from an IV stand, he said.
"While I was standing at the foot of the bed, he [Conrad Murray] reached over and grabbed a handful of vials and said, 'Here, put these in a bag,'" Alvarez said.
Alvarez didn't question Murray's requests.
"I thought Conrad Murray had best intentions for Mr. Jackson," Alvarez said. "I thought we were packing, getting ready to go to the hospital."
The saline bag had a bottle in it and a "milky white substance," Alvarez said. The substance was propofol, the powerful anesthetic that was found in Jackson's system at the time he died. Murray administered the drug to Jackson to help him sleep.
Murray's lawyers contend that he only administered 25 mg of propofol to Jackson on the day he died. They argue that Jackson himself took a sedative and an additional dose of propofol without his doctor's knowledge that created a "perfect storm" that killed the king of pop.
