The lawyer for Michael Jackson's personal doctor says police have twisted his client's account of the singer's last hours.

Dr Conrad Murray never told detectives he left Jackson and returned to find he had stopped breathing at 11am on June 25, lawyer Edward Chernoff said in a statement late Monday.

That was one of the assertions in court papers, unsealed on Monday, that are part of the investigation into how Jackson died.

Chernoff called much of what's in the affidavit, which Los Angeles Police filed to search Murray's Texas clinic last month, "police theory".

The Los Angeles Coroner's office has ruled Jackson's death a homicide caused by a mix of drugs meant to treat insomnia, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
