Where in the world is Michael Jackson's doctor?

L.A.'s Finest are continuing to search for a Houston doctor who was on the scene when the King of Pop went into cardiac arrest at his rented Holmby Hills home and died suddenly. But the good news is now they have a name to go on.

Houston's KHOU has identified Jackson's personal physician as Dr. Conrad Robert Murray, a Texas-based cardiologist who had been living in the mansion with the 50-year-old "Thriller" singer.

The station spoke to a medical assistant at the Acres Home Heart and Vascular Institute, who confirmed that Murray was present at the time Jackson was stricken and reportedly administered CPR to him before paramedics arrived. But she hadn't been able to reach him despite numerous attempts.

Investigators want to talk to the doc as part of a standard probe into the music legend's death, though no foul play is suspected at this time. 

But questions were raised Thursday after authorities towed a BMW from the residence that had Texas plates belonging to Murray's sister. LAPD Officer  T. Dobine tells E! News "there may have been some medication inside the vehicle that the coroner needs for its investigation."

No word if Murray is licensed to practice medicine in California.

Michael's brother, Jermaine, earlier stated that Jackson's physician had attempted to revive him before medics arrived, though he did not specify whether that was Murray.
