Alberto Alvarez -- Michael Jackson's Security Guard Testifies
Updated 9/29/11 at 8:48 AM

0929_alberto_alverez_sideMichael Jackson's security guard Alberto Alvarez -- the man who called 911 the morning MJ died -- just took the stand.

* Alvarez said on the evening of June 24 -- the night before his death -- Michael was in a great mood.
* After the rehearsal, Alvarez headed back to MJ's house to prepare for Michael's arrival and saw Dr. Murray's BMW parked in the driveway.
* The following day, at around 12:18 pm, as he was sitting at the security trailer, Alvarez got a call from MJ's assistant asking him to rush into the house without creating a "commotion."
* When he got to the second floor, he saw Conrad Murray heading to MJ's bedroom.
* When Murray saw him, he told him, "come, come quick." That's when he said, he understood the seriousness of the situation and hung up the phone with MJ's assistant, Michael Amir Williams.
* When he walked into the room, the first thing he saw was Murray giving MJ chest compressions while MJ was laying on bed.
* Alvarez said MJ was on the far side of the bed, laying on his back with his hands extended to the sides, palms up... his mouth and eyes open and face slightly toward the left.
* Murray was using one hand -- his left -- to do the compressions.
* Murray then said, "We have to get him to the hospital."
* That's when he noticed Paris right behind him crying and screaming "Daddy!"
* He says MJ's face was facing Paris at the time.
* Murray yelled, "Don't let them see their dad that way" ... so Alvarez moved the kids away.
* When he returned to the room, he asked Murray,  "What happened?" Murray said it was "a bad reaction."
* Alvarez noticed a condom catheter -- a device that collects urine -- attached to MJ's penis.
* Alvarez said Murray grabbed a "handful" of vials, handing them over to Alvarez saying "put these in a bag."
* Alvarez held a plastic bag open and Murray placed the vials in the plastic bag, then told him to put the plastic bag in a brown bag.
* Murray then asked Alvarez to put the brown bag in a blue bag...  which Alvarez did.
* Murray asked him to take the saline bag from the IV stand and put it in the blue bag as well.
* Alvarez said he didn't question Murray's request. He thought they were packing all the items for the hospital.
* There were two saline bags on the IV stand but Murray only asked for the one that had a vial in it and a "milky white substance" at the bottom of the bag.
