UPDATE: Murray's attorney, Edward Chernoff, says in a statement that the doctor is fully cooperating with authorities.
"The search warrant authorized investigators to look for medical records relating to Michael Jackson and all of his reported aliases," read a statement on Chernoff's website. "Dr Murray was present during the search of his home and assisted the officers. Investigators left Dr. Murray's home around 12 noon, seizing cell phones and a computer hard drive."
Several hours after they arrived, officials toted several large manila envelopes and roughly half a dozen plastic storage containers away from Murray's home.
The Los Angeles Times reports that authorities were looking for records in Jackson's name as well as anything that cited any of 19 aliases, including the names Josephine Baker, Omar Arnold, Paul Farance, Bryan Singleton and Jackson's son, Prince.

Nope, that definitely ain't the Avon lady knocking.
With their manslaughter case in full gear and with toxicology tests due any day now, investigators paid a house call this morning to Michael Jackson's personal doctor.
Los Angeles police and Drug Enforcement Administration agents entered the gated Red Rock Country Club, site of Dr. Conrad Murray's Las Vegas home, to execute yet another search warrant. At the same time, a separate batch of cops made their way over to Murray's Vegas offices for the same purpose.
While DEA Assistant Special Agent Mike Flanagan would not disclose specific details of the sealed search warrant, he said officials were "looking for a lot of things," including documents and computer records.
Though Murray was in fact home at the time, he apparently didn't feel up to making an appearance for the growing number of news choppers overhead. Radar Online reported that Murray's home has been under surveillance by cops for the past 48 hours.
The visits come just one day after word broke that the cardiologist administered what investigators believe was a fatal dose of propofol to the King of Pop and a week after a DEA-assisted raid on Murray's Houston clinic and storage unit.
