New York, NY - July 16, 2009 - INSIDE EDITION speaks with Cathy McGrath, a nurse who treated Jackson's burn injuries immediately after Jackson's hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984.

McGrath tells INSIDE EDITION about Jackson's condition when he arrived to her for treatment.

McGrath: "He had the dressing on his head.  He was covered with a blanket.  He was pretty shaken up...He had a pretty good sized burn on his head...second and third degree burns...He was nervous when he first came in, but ultimately he was very pleasant...very soft -spoken."

McGrath also tells INSIDE EDITION that Jackson had previously visited burn victims at the same burn center where he would eventually be treated.
