Conrad Murray is reportedly back in the medical business after landing a new job, TMZ reports. Murray, who was found guilty in the death of Michael Jackson, took a job at the Trinidad Ministry of Health and will be working with children who have heart problems.
Sources told the site that Murray will be "consulting with local heart surgeons" and the government wants him to use his connections in the United States to help the sick children. Reportedly, he is volunteering with the organization and won't be getting paid for the new gig.
Following his 2011 conviction, Murray's medical license was revoked in Texas, where he had a clinic for low-income patients, and suspended in California and Nevada. A jury found the former physician guilty of involuntary manslaughter; he pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Prosecutors said that Murray was reckless in his treatment of the pop star and he left Jackson unattended while he was "under the effects of the anesthetic propfol on the day he died in 2009," Rolling Stone reports.
Murray's team claimed the doctor did not administer the lethal dose saying that the King of Pop was addicted and self-administered the drug while Murray was out of the room. In October 2013, Murray was released from jail after serving two years.
According to TMZ, on the night he was released Murray applied to have his medical license reinstated. He asked a civil judge in Texas to stop the state from cancelling his license but his request was denied.
"Dr. Murray has an unquenchable desire to help people, and no matter where it is, he will return to his given profession of healing," Charles Peckham, his Texas attorney told The New York Daily News at the time. "The truth is that a man like Dr. Murray who's dedicated his life to helping people will find a place to do it. If it's in Texas or the U.S. or we don't know where, you can be sure he will find a place to help people."
