Autopsy report says Michael Jackson a wreck

A leaked copy of the autopsy report on former King of Pop Michael Jackson paints a disturbing picture of the dead singers health leading up to his death.
According to the British tabloid The Sun, the dead entertainer weighed just 51kg (112lb), was bald, emaciated and the bridge to his nose had vanished and its right side had partially collapsed.
The newspaper said the autopsy report details the 80s pop icon was wearing a wig which covered just “peach fuzz” on his head, while the singers body was riddled with needle holes, scarred by at least 13 cosmetic surgery operations.
The tabloid reports that Jackson’s body was “severely emaciated” from eating just one meal a day and pathologists only found partially dissolved pills in his stomach – which have been sent for toxicology tests.
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 report also said four needle puncture marks were found above Jackson’s heart, apparently the result of trying to inject adrenaline in an attempt to revive him.
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 – several of which had been broken in the attempts to revive him
Quoting an unnamed source it says is close to the Jackson family, The Sun said: “Michael’s family and fans will be horrified when they realize the appalling state he was in.
“He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died. Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for years.
“His doctors and the hangers-on stood by as he self-destructed. Somebody is going to have to pay.”
The same unnamed sources claim the family were preparing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Jackson’s private doctor, cardiologist Dr Conrad Murray, who was hired just 11 days ago by AEG Live — the firm masterminding Jacko’s 50-date residency at London’s O2 Arena, which was due to start next month.
