NEW FINDS IN AUTOPSY REPORT REVEAL JACKSON WAS ‘HEALTHY’
MICHAEL JACKSON was "fairly healthy" and did not suffer from any serious pre-existing conditions that would have increased his risk of a drug overdose, according to new autopsy report findings.
The King of Pop passed away on 25 June (09) after suffering a cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles County Coroner ruled in August (09) the star was killed by a cocktail of strong prescription drugs.
Investigators claim Jackson died when an injection of powerful anaesthetic Propofol was mixed with another sedative.
Jackson’s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray is currently being investigated by police over allegations he administered the fatal dose to help the star sleep the night before he died.
A newly-obtained copy of the coroner’s report from the Associated Press shows Jackson was 136 pounds, a healthy weight for a five foot nine inch man, when he died. The coroner also found Jackson had a strong heart and was actively producing sperm.
Jackson reportedly suffered minor conditions including arthritis in the lower spine and some fingers and mild plaque buildup in his leg arteries.
He also suffered from chronically inflamed lungs. However, the condition is not noted as a potential contributing cause of death. His arms were reportedly covered with punctures and his face and neck scarred, according to the document.
The coroner found depigmentation of his skin around his chest, abdomen, face and arms, in addition to several cosmetic tattoos on both eyebrows, under his eyes, at his frontal hairline, and a pink tattoo around his lips.
The full autopsy report has not been released to the public.
