Jackson's Chef: Conrad Murray Was "Frantic"

Los Angeles - Michael Jackson's personal chef, Kai Chase, said she was in the kitchen of the mansion the day Jackson died when Murray came down the spiral stairs toward the kitchen between 12:05 and 12:10 p.m. "in a panic."

"His energy was very nervous and frantic and he was shouting," Chase said.

She said Murray called for her to "get help, get security, get Prince."

"I dropped what I was doing and I ran to go get Prince," she said, noting that she was able to see Jackson's oldest son nearby.

"I said, `Hurry. Dr. Murray needs you. There may be something wrong with your father,"' Chase said she told the boy.

Chase said she went back to preparing lunch, but she soon saw other workers at the house crying in a nearby foyer. She said she joined them and they hugged and prayed in a circle. She said Jackson's children were with her and the housekeepers when paramedics came into the home, and they were asked by security officials to leave the house on what she called "a very devastating day."

Under cross-examination by defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan, Jackson's personal chef said she chose to approach Prince because he was within sight and she didn't know if security officers would be in their trailer outside the home.

"You never told Dr. Murray that you were not going to get security?" Flanagan asked.

"No," she responded.
