Houston (CNN)—Michael Jackson’s doctor broke his silence Tuesday with a video message to supporters today.

In a soft accented voice, Michael Jackson’s former Dr. Conrad Murray broke his silence with what his lawyer says is a thank you to his supporters.

“Because of all that is going on I am afraid to return phone calls or use my email,” said Dr. Conrad Murray. “Therefore I recorded this video to let all of you know that I have been receiving your messages. I have not been able to thank you personally which as you know is not normal for me. Your messages give me strength and courage and keep me going.”

Near the end of the minute long video, posted on Youtube, there is also a message that seems to be directed to the general public.

“Don’t worry as long as I keep god in my heart and you in my life I will be fine. I have done all I can do – I told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail god bless you and thank you,” said Murray.

“I think it was very well executed very smart and a great pr move,” said publicist and author Howard Bragman.

Bragman said the video brings Murray to life, transforming him from just a voiceless potential suspect in the death of Michael Jackson. Bragman also applauds the way the message was delivered.

“These kind of sites: Myspace, Youtube, Facebook, are great ways of getting messages out there without having the risk of the mainstream media, by risk I mean questions,” said Bragman.

There are plenty of questions for Murray to answer. Murray is subjected to search warrants at his home, and his offices in Las Vegas and Houston.

He has met with detectives twice since Jackson’s death. His lawyers say he continues to cooperate with the investigation.
