Los Angeles, Aug 26 - Two employees of Michael Jackson, one of whom was with the pop star in his last moments, can throw important light on his death, their attorney said here Tuesday.

Attorney Carl Douglas, who was on the defence team of star footballer O.J. Simpson during his trial in 1993 in the murder of his wife Nicole Simpson, said the two employees were willing to provide information to police.

He said the Los Angeles police department (LAPD) has done only 'informal' interviews with the employees and should talk to them in detail, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Michael Amir, Jackson's chief of staff, and Alberto Alvarez, a security staffer, were interviewed by police June 25, the day Jackson died.

The attorney said the two men could shed new light on not only Jackson's final hours but also the actions of the pop star's doctor.

'We arranged two separate occasions for LAPD investigators to meet with my clients. My clients came early wearing suits and ties. The first meeting was cancelled and rescheduled. The second meeting I had to call them to inquire about the (detectives') absence,' the attorney was quoted as saying.
