Yesterday, gossip site TMZ reported that Joe Jackson, father of the late pop star Michael Jackson, is suing physician Conrad Murray for wrongful death on the grounds that the good doctor was partying at a strip club the night Michael died. The claim is that Murray was drinking at Sam’s Hofbrau, a night club specializing in skin, merely hours before he administered a lethal injection of IV medication Propofol to Jackson.

A representative from Dr. Conrad Murray’s defense team says the claims are completely untrue, stating “In the weeks before Michael [Jackson] died, Murray barely had time to take a shower.” As for the cocktail claims, the rep says Murray “does not drink.”
