Alberto Alvarez: guard who called for an ambulance
My anguish, by guard who called for an ambulance
By Graeme Culliford 20/06/2010
The bodyguard who watched helplessly as Jacko's life ebbed away suffers sleepless nights as he struggles to cope with what he saw.
Devastated Alberto Alvarez, who took control and dialled 911 for an ambulance, says he cannot stop thinking whether he could have done anything to save the singer.
Alberto, 34, will be star witness in the trial of Dr Murray, alleged to have halted resuscitation attempts while he hid the anaesthetic claimed to have killed Jackson.
He told the Sunday Mirror: "I've had sleepless nights. I play over in my mind what I could have done differently - I feel terrible about what happened."
The bodyguard added: "I want justice for Mr Jackson and will do whatever it takes. When I tell my story, it will be in a court of law."
Alberto told police the doctor broke off from trying to revive Jackson to stuff vials into a bag. The substance they they contained resembled Propofol.
Police say Dr Murray spent some 30 minutes trying to revive the star before seeking help.
But rather than calling an ambulance, he left a message on the mobile phone of security chief Michael Amir.
Amir immediately called back, then alerted Alberto, who finally dialled the US emergency number 911. --> What? First time I hear about this
Alberto was later fired by the Jackson family and now struggles to provide for wife Anna and their young children.
The bodyguard's lawyer Carl Douglas said: "When the facts are released in front of a jury, I am confident that Mr Alvarez will emerge as the hero of this tragic saga."

Why ??
Dr. CM lawyer said, Doctor was not able to call 911 earlier because the phones in MJ house were not working...
Sure, so why didn't he use HIS phone? Didn't he go on phone after administrating Michael the propofol? What a bunch of BS
But rather than calling an ambulance, he left a message on the mobile phone of security chief Michael Amir.
So he left a message? With what if phones were not working? Did he sent a message with owl?? <!-- s
maybe he forgot the emergency number <!-- s

@hazzely -
That's what was reported. You probably missed it because There has been little to no mention of Michael Amir Williams.
They just twisted the story over and over again
It's all silly. This is why I keep saying that he will not be able to reconcile anything in court, but I fear now that the next hearing is already rigged. I was reported that he didn't use his cell because he didn't know the address. Even if he didn't know the st. # he must have know the house was on the corner of Carolwood and the Blvd. That's all he needed to say.
I only heard one version - that the Dr. called Michael Amir, Michael called Alberto and the Dr. didn't call 911 from his cell because he didn't know the address - well apparently he didn't know the house was on the corner either - cough.
So even if this about Michael Amir is true, MICHAEL WAS "DYING" AND HE SENDS A MESSAGE ? Why not call him? It was supposed to be an emergency!
Murray, the more you talk the worse it gets for you!
The version I heard is the following:
Dr Murray notices that Michael is not breathing, he goes downstairs, calls the chef, Paris and Prince, and Alberto. Then A.Alvarez calls 911
I didn't hear anything about Michael Amir..
If people don't start thinking and putting two and two together they will proof how stupid all this is!
How dare they!! CM and his lawyers are weaving a story out of science fiction. There is no way I am going to believe the King was taken down by stupidity.
No way! I get more outraged each minute, each article. I can't even click on them anymore so I thank those that post them.
Michael we need you! We LOVE you!
And yes it's a "tragic" saga, an epic adventure and the hero is Michael.

I agree - hero was a very strange word to use. Maybe he meant that the bodyguard will be vindicated when his day to speak comes. IDK - there are too many versions of this story.
Everyone is trying to cover their asses and doing a really bad job of it
I really do hope that !The Truth will prevail" and hopefully very soon! <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->
I always wondered the same..ever since this hoax started.. He knew very well Michael's address, otherwise how did he manage to drive to his house all the times he was asked to? This is just ridiculous
