Frank was called while he was having lunch at a restaurant by a fan. I even know who called him. He was not previously called Murray unless we're missing something here?
There was obviously alot of furious phone calling so it would be natural to have confusion about it. Pearl Jr gave an account of how she found out & people she called.
LAPD called at 1pm.

Update 8:53 PM Greg Strank, a detective with Los Angeles Police Department's robbery and homicide unit, told journalists gathered outside Michael Jackson's house that the media shouldn't read anything significant into officers from his unit being on the scene. "We investigate deaths every day," he said, adding that the high profile nature of the case led the the LAPD chief to have his unit secure the scene and conduct an investigation. He wouldn't answer questions beyond the time the police were notified, at about 1:00 PM Los Angeles time, and the time the cultural icon was pronounced dead, 2:30 PM Los Angeles time.
(I believe I did see this interview on TV)
Frank called Klein's office - Klein said so in his TMZ interview, he did not talk to Klein but to the office manager is my memory. I thought that was wierd. Not sure of time.
Leiweke of AEG was called at 12:30 according to an interview he gave.

(this article on many sites)
At 12:30 p.m. June 25, Leiweke received a call informing him Jackson had been taken to the hospital. “Like the rest of the world, we were on the outside,” he says. “Randy [Phillips] didn’t know specifics until he got to the hospital, and by then, unfortunately, it was our worst scenario. It was shocking because what we knew was he was healthy—of that we were certain.”
Joe was called 11:30-12:20? according to NE by Tippy Alvarez. There was a abc article that gave the time as 11:30 by a friend of Joe's. Could be a typo, that it was 12:30? but it is accurate that he was called IMO. On LKL Joe said he heard of MJ death thru a fan is how I think Joe interpreted the question

As Dr. Murray worked on the stricken pop star, the N.Y. Post said Tippy placed a call to the singer's father Joe in Las Vegas, who "screamed" at them to call for help. The U.K. Mirror quoted a source as saying over this time Jackson's heart beat became "slower and slower," and Dr. Murray may have hooked Jackson up to a heart monitor. Various reports say Dr. Murray gave Jackson an injection of Lidocaine, a drug designed to return a regular heartbeat.

Joe, I have -- I have not heard the answer to this -- how did you learn of Michael's passing?
JOE JACKSON, FATHER OF MICHAEL JACKSON: Well, I -- I learned that by some of the fans, you know. They called me and they told me that the ambulance was leaving Michael's house and it looked it was headed toward the hospital. And he said the fire truck was following the ambulance. And they said we are following the fire truck.
That's how I learned.
KING: Wow!
Did you turn the TV on right away?
JACKSON: No, I did not. I was trying to find out more of the things, you know, by the fans and that sort of the thing.
KING: Wow!
So fans were the first to tell you?
JACKSON: Yes, they did. They always keep me abreast of what's going on.

When Michael Jackson collapsed at 11:30 [a.m. PT June 25], the security guard's first instinct was to call Joe in Las Vegas to find out what to do. Joe screamed into the phone, "Get yourself together and call 911, now now now !!!" That was him in action, no emotion.
Now what Alvarez initially told Joe will be quite interesting - Murray called for help & Alvarez came - did Murray tell Alvarez a different story & that is what he told Joe & that is what ended up in the tabs? This article was published on July 1 & reading it again, Joe may have been told that MJ collapsed at 11:30 & that would not be the actual time of the call to Joe.

According to LaToya, Joe called her to go to the hospital:
She reveals specific details of the scene inside her brother’s rented £60,000-a-month Beverly Hills mansion. He was not found in bed, as has been widely reported, but instead was inside the nearby bedroom of his personal physician Dr Conrad Murray, a man who ‘disappeared’ from the hospital when La Toya began grilling him.
She tells how an intravenous drip stand was beside the bed and oxygen canisters lined the walls.

‘About an hour-and-a-half later, my father called me from Las Vegas and said, “Get to the hospital right away. Michael’s been rushed to hospital.”’
(note: hour & half refers to Farrah Fawcett death)
other snippets from LT article that are interesting:
She says Michael was taken to hospital from Dr Murray’s bedroom, across a large hall from his own. ‘Michael walked from his room to Dr Murray’s room. What happened in there we don’t know. He ended up alone in the room with the doctor.’
Shortly after midday, the doctor ran downstairs and screamed at bodyguard Alberto Alvarez to call the emergency services.
Brother Michael saw him and said it was obvious he was dead. There were oxygen tanks along the wall next to the dresser. There was a metal stand with a cord hanging down. The police had already been in the house and had removed all the drugs and whatever bag was hanging there.’
From reading the article, it seems she went to the house that night after 11pm with Jeffre Phillips. According to Klein she spent 2 nights there. Don't know if thats true but could be since his first instincts were to call lawyers, DR & I am going to speculate private detectives.
