Jacko doc drug panic

Michael Jackson’s doctor frantically hid vials and bottles of medicines once he knew the King of Pop was dead, a bodyguard testified yesterday.

The Gloved One’s hired muscle, Alberto Alvarez, painted the picture of a sad, frenzied scene in Jackson’s Los Angeles bedroom, where the singer died on June 25, 2009.

Alvarez said Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, gave him a canvas sack and told him to help.

“He just grabbed a handful of bottles, or vials, and he instructed me to put them in a bag,” Alvarez testified.

Murray has been charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly giving Jackson fatal doses of sedatives.

Prosecutors are showing evidence in a preliminary hearing to determine if Murray should stand trial.
