"My whole take on the thing was, you know, he seeme

d like a fragile type person," former chef Douglas Jones told "Good Morning America" today. "You would have your suspicions, but how far could you look into it. My role was a chef."

Jones said he would see Murray arrive in the evenings, five days a week, and then leave in the morning.

"He was to monitor Mr. Jackson during the evenings, healthwise," he said, "to see how he was sleeping."

Jackson died June 25 of apparent cardiac arrest.

Murray is the focus of an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and could face manslaughter charges, according to search warrants used in raids in two states on his home and offices.
