Authorities are investigating several doctors who associated with Jackson to see if they inappropriately provided him with prescription drugs.
A family friend of the Jackson family, Dr Steven Hoefflin has questioned the motives of Dr Murray.
He told The Sun newspaper that on the night Michael died, Dr Murray called Prince to the room where he was performing CPR on his father.
'The family have told me Dr Murray ensured Prince Michael understood the CPR procedure and that he was doing it correctly,' Dr Hoefflin said, speaking on behalf of the Jackson family.
'It is the family's belief that this was intended
Dr Hoefflin believes the singer suffered a heart attack after being given sedative Propofol at bedtime.
I have been told this by the family and if you know anything about the drug - which should not be administered by anyone

Dr Hoefflin also revealed that police searched Michael's house for a second time and found Propofol hidden in a cabinet.
Police and federal drug agents have also seized documents and computer records from Dr Murray's clinic.
They left with 21 documents and a 'forensic image' of a computer hard drive, Dr Murray's lawyer Ed Chernoff said.
He added: 'The search warrant authorised law enforcement to search for and seize items, including documents, they believe constituted evidence of the offence of manslaughter.'
Dr Murray was the personal physician Michael hired in May to look after him as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts in London.
The cause of Jackson's death at the age of 50 on June 25 has yet to be determined.
The coroner's office in Los Angeles is expected to release the results of the singer's post-mortem examination and toxicology tests next week.
The Jackson family ordered a second private autopsy and are also awaiting the results.
Speculation has grown that they will show Jackson was on strong medication at the time of his death. The powerful anaesthetic Propofol was reportedly found at Jackson's home by investigators.
To date, police have remained tight-lipped about the investigation, neither confirming nor denying the possibility of criminal charges being made.
To prove manslaughter, prosecutor would have to show that there were reckless actions that created a risk of death or great bodily injury.
