Jacko autopsy revealed

Monday 29 June 2009
As inquiries into the tragedy of Michael Jackson’s death focus on the singer’s personal physician Dr Conrad Murray, a source close to the Jackson entourage said: “Michael’s family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in.”
 
The horrifying state of the pop superstar in his final days were revealed by The Sun today.
 
Leaked autopsy details show the singer was a virtual skeleton – barely eating and with only pills in his stomach at the time he died.
 
His hips, thighs and shoulders were covered with needle wounds – believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.
 
The examination showed the 5ft 10in star had plunged to a “severely emaciated” 8 stone 1oz.
 
Pathologists found his stomach empty aside from partially-dissolved pills he took before the painkiller injection which stopped his heart.
 
Jacko had also lost virtually all his hair. The King of Pop was wearing a wig when he died and pathologists said little more than “peach fuzz” covered his scalp.
 
Michael suffered several broken ribs as rescuers pumped his chest after he collapsed in cardiac arrest.
 
The autopsy also found unexplained bruising on Jackson’s knees and on the fronts of both shins. There were also cuts on his back, indicating a recent fall.
 
His face bore a network of plastic surgery scars, while the bridge to his nose had vanished and its right side had partially collapsed.

Shocking to read but not really surprised, it was so obvious he was underweight and not looking well I hope those hangers on are pleased with themselves for allowing it to get that far. Surely someone could have told a family member in private what he was going through and let them deal with it accordingly. Or maybe they all knew and either couldnt get through to him or couldnt give a damn - guess we will never know

Painkillers become so addictive so very easily, casting him as a junkie doing hard drugs is something very different! Let's wait and see what the full autopsy reveals hm?! There was talk that he had cancer which his reps denied, but if he'd had treatment for it that could explain his hair loss!!
I must admit I was more than sceptical when I heard he'd be doing these farewell shows - he looked too ill then, seeing him in a photo in a wheelchair later did nothing to help. When 50 extra shows were added to his program I knew he'd never make it - sadly I think his financial woes and debts made it easier for him to agree!! R.I.P Michael you'll still be remembered as a great showman!

RE: Jacko autopsy revealed

This may sound harsh, but my other half phoned me up at 11:30pm of the evening that Jacko died and told me that he had some massive news, that a huge star had died and then told me it was Jacko. I wasn't in the least bit surprised or shocked as the poor man had looked like a walking corpse for years. I never really liked him, but quite enjoyed listening to his music, and although completely tragic, he was in such bad health, my only surprise is that he hadn't passed away long ago. R.I.P MJ.
