THE DOCTOR who gave Michael Jackson a fatal dose of the anaesthetic propofol in a bid to help the pop star sleep, and is serving a four-year prison term for involuntary manslaughter as a result, has told his daughter Paris Jackson: "I don't know if there's anything I can do to solve your pain or help you with your problem. But I wanted you to know that I am here for you."

The message from Dr Conrad Murray came as 15-year-old Paris recovered in a Los Angeles hospital after an apparent suicide attempt. She reportedly cut her forearm with a kitchen cleaver, took several pills and called a suicide helpline who alerted the authorities.
