Jackson's private doctor criticised for lack of vital hospital equipment Singer's mother Katherine Jackson seen shaking her head in public gallery By David Gardner Last updated at 9:29 AM on 20th October 2011 A simple medical technique could have prevented the death of Michael Jackson, a leading anaesthesiologist told jurors today. Doctor Steven Shafer said lifting the chin of a patient under anaesthetic  to clear the airwaves should be the first thing a doctor tries to revive someone who has stopped breathing. The jury in the trial of Dr Conrad Murray, Jackson's private doctor, was also shown a dramatic video re-enacting how the singer stopped breathing after taking a deadly cocktail of drugs to help him sleep.
