Katherine revealed that she had an agonizing wait until finding out what happened to Michael.

That never-before-revealed detail is even more dramatic because Dr. Conrad Murray is facing criminal charges related to Michael's death. Dr. Murray administered propofol, a power drug rarely if ever used outside of a hospital, to help Jackson sleep.

Katherine told Oprah that when she encountered Dr. Murray at the hospital they had this exchange:

"I said, 'Well what happened? How is he how is he did he make it?'

"I prayed all the way to the hospital," she said. "He was dead then but they didn't tell me."
