A controversial re-enactment of Michael Jackson’s death has been shown on US television.

VH1 show Famous Crime Scene used an uncanny Jacko lookalike for their chilling 30-minute programme, which aired on Friday night.

The re-enactment showed the doppelganger being given CPR – first on his bed and then on the floor – by an actor playing the singer’s alleged killer Dr Conrad Murray.

The most shocking scenes, however, featured the lookalike lying naked on an post mortem table, covered by nothing but a towel, and being pushed slowly into a mortuary drawer.

VH1’s show used a mixture of actors, journalists and magazine and website editors to put together its version of the events surrounding Jacko’s death.

But, confusingly, it also featured interviews with actual members of the Los Angeles Fire Department who were involved in the events of June 25 last year and paparazzi footage from outside the hospital and the singer’s home.

Even Brian Oxman, the Jackson family’s lawyer, was interviewed for the programme.

As the lookalikes re-enacted the moment Jackson slipped into unconsciousness, the real-life 911 call was played over the top of the images.

‘We got a call 12.21pm,’ Captain Stephen Ruda, from the Los Angeles Fire Department recalled.

‘There was no identification by the caller of who he was or who was having the medical issues. But we knew that someone was in dire, dire straits.

‘At 12.25 we were on scene. Firefighters were led in and led to the room where the patient was located.

‘Our firefighters found the doctor doing CPR. It turned out to be Michael Jackson.’

While the actors played out their version of events in Jackson’s bedroom, experts expressed surprise over the CPR Dr. Murray supposedly conducted on Jacko’s bed.

Dr Marc Eckstein, Medical Director of LAFD, added: ‘The vital mechanics of CPR are straightforward. How or why a physician might not know that, I can’t comment on’

‘CPR should be conducted on hard, firm surfaces, but there was a physician in the room who was doing CPR on the bed,’ Captain Ruda said.

Dr Marc Eckstein, Medical Director of LAFD, added: ‘The vital mechanics of CPR are straightforward. How or why a physician might not know that, I can’t comment on.’

Further acted out scenes showed paramedics rushing to Jackson’s side and wheeling him out of his home on a stretcher.

‘I got a phone call from Randy Jackson telling me they had taken his brother, Michael to the hospital. He just said ‘Brian, it’s bad. Meet me there’,’ Oxman revealed.

More chilling scenes showed the lookalike’s body being prepared for an autopsy and later, dead in a mortuary drawer.Jackson died, aged 50, on June 25 last after suffering a cardiac arrest. The LA County Coroner has since ruled that his death was a homicide.
