Chef thought Jackson was 'sleeping late'

LOS ANGELES: On the day Michael Jackson died, his personal chef says her first hint of something amiss was when his doctor didn't come downstairs to get the juices and granola he routinely brought the King of Pop for breakfast each morning.

Kai Chase, a professional chef hired by Jackson to maintain a healthy food regimen, recalled the singer's final days in an interview with the Associated Press. She also spoke about the role of his personal physician, Dr Conrad Murray, who is now the focus of a manslaughter investigation.

Authorities searched Murray's Las Vegas home and medical office on Tuesday as part of an investigation that included raids last week of his clinic and storage in Houston.
