Reports that Michael Jackson’s autopsy results have been leaked are false, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office.
Ed Winter, assistant chief coroner, said details reported in the UK Sun about Jackson’s condition did not come from either of the two autopsies performed on the King of Pop.
“I don’t know where that information came from, or who that information came from. It is not accurate. Some of it is totally false,” Winters told reporters.
After an inconclusive autopsy was carried out on Jackson by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, the family requested a second autopsy by a private pathologist. Toxicology tests are expected to take several weeks.
According to The Sun, Jackson was a “virtual skeleton” with only pills in his stomach at the time he died.
From The Sun:
His hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with needle wounds — believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.
And a mass of surgery scars were thought to be the legacy of at least 13 cosmetic operations.
The examination showed the 5ft 10in star — once famed for his on-stage athleticism — had:
PLUNGED to a “severely emaciated” 8st 1oz. It is understood anorexic Jackson had been eating just one meagre meal a day.
Pathologists found his stomach empty aside from partially-dissolved pills he took before the painkiller injection which stopped his heart. Samples were sent for toxicology tests.
LOST virtually all his hair. The pop pin-up was wearing a wig when he died and pathologists said little more than “peach fuzz” covered his scalp.
A scarred section of skin above his left ear was entirely bald — apparently the result of a 1984 accident when his hair caught fire as he filmed an ad for Pepsi.
SUFFERED several broken ribs as frantic rescuers pumped his chest after he collapsed in cardiac arrest. Four injection sites were found above or near to Jacko’s heart.
All appeared to result from attempts to pump adrenaline directly into the organ in a failed bit to restart it.
Three of the injections had penetrated the heart wall — causing damage — but a fourth missed and hit one of the 50-year-old star’s ribs.
The autopsy also found unexplained BRUISING on Jackson’s knees and on the fronts of both shins. And there were CUTS on his back, indicating a recent fall.
The King of Pop’s once handsome face bore a network of plastic surgery scars, while the bridge to his nose had vanished and its right side had partially collapsed.
