He denied reports suggesting Murray gave Jackson drugs that contributed to his death.   Chernoff told the AP that Murray was at the pop icon's rented mansion on Thursday afternoon when he discovered Jackson in bed and not breathing. The doctor immediately began administering CPR, Chernoff said.   "He just happened to find him in his bed, and he wasn't breathing," the lawyer said. "Mr. Jackson was still warm and had a pulse."  Jackson's family requested a private autopsy in part because of questions  about Murray, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday.<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_michael_jackson" target="_blank">http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_michael_jackson</a>Paramedics were called to the mansion while the doctor was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), according to a recording of the emergency call. Because Jackson was so frail, Murray "administered with his hand behind his back to provide the necessary support"; Chernoff said. Some have speculated the doctor botched the CPR.</blockquote>
