Pix show Dr Conray Murray , who was present when Jackson was dead on his home.
Michael Jackson's private physician is in seclusion, not speaking even with family and friends, and won't attend the singer's memorial next week, the doctor's rep tells PEOPLE.
"He will be mourning in private because he feels his presence would remind people of Michael Jackson's death, and the doctor would prefer that people remember his friend as he was in life," says Miranda Sevcik, a spokeswoman for Dr. Conrad Murray.
Police have questioned Murray about his treatment of Jackson. The doctor, hired by the promoter of Jackson's planned London concert series this summer, was with the entertainer when he was stricken June 25 at his Los Angeles home.
Murray has declined to comment publicly on his care of Jackson, pending the outcome of toxicology tests, though his rep confirms that the doctor believes he is still owed $300,000 from the concert promoter for work since May 1. The rep would not give the whereabouts of Murray, who has practiced in Texas, Nevada and California.
The physician is "completely off the radar until the toxicology results are revealed," says Sevcik. "He's not even talking to friends and family, and I haven't even spoken to him personally, either."
As investigators continue to dig into the mystery of Michael Jackson's death, new details are emerging constantly. A Jackson family source confirmed to E! News that there were needle marks on the singer's body, consistent with tales of drug injections, and at least four of Jackson's former doctors are facing intense scrutiny.
LAPD detectives, who are being assisted by the DEA, have a special interest in questioning Beverly Hills dermatologist Arnold Klein and are still focusing on Dr. Conrad Murray, according to the source. Murray was with Jackson in his Holmby Hills Mansion at the time of his death, and has already been questioned by police.
he source also claims that police are probing at least two unidentified anesthesiologist who might have information about if and how the King of Pop was able to get his hands on the potent anesthetic Diprivan that was reportedly found at the mansion when he died.
Diprivan, which is generally administered by IV, has been one of the main drugs at the forefront in possible causes of Jackson's death.
The source also confirmed that needle marks were found on Jackson's body during the coroner's autopsy. While the source would not confirm where on the body the marks were, they were consistent with puncture wounds from injectable medications.
Reps for both Klein and Murray declined to comment today about their clients' possible knowledge of Jackson's drug use. Last week, Murray's lawyer insisted that his client was "not a suspect."
Jackson's family is still cooperating with police, according to the source.
