Tabloid's horrific details on Michael Jackson autopsy 'not accurate,' says LA coroner
Was Michael Jackson's demise reminiscent of the death of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes?
It certainly sounded like it in the Sun's report on supposedly leaked details from Michael Jackson's autopsy. The British tabloid claimed he was bald and emaciated, with a needle-marked and surgery-scarred body.
But The Times reports, on L.A. Now, that the Los Angeles coroner's office has dismissed these reports. An autopsy was done Friday by the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Toxicology tests will take several weeks to complete.
Assistant chief coroner Ed Winter said the Sun's details did not come from either the private or the county autopsy.
"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," said coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey.
Some? The Sun report describes Jackson as weighing 112 pounds. His stomach was completely empty except for partially dissolved pills. It claims his hips, thighs and shoulders were covered with needle wounds.
It gets worse....
According to one Sun source, the "injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he'd been in terminal decline for some years."
The Sun also reported fresh injections around his heart from attempts to pump adrenaline into it to jump-start it.
We will have to wait for weeks for final autopsy results.
But hopefully they will not -- like these false reports -- reveal a man who, like Howard Hughes, lived a reclusive, unhealthy and drug-addicted life for the last years of his privileged existence.

Is Michael Jackson worth more dead than alive?

michael jackson was not bizarre or
eccentric but a sociopath.
He was manipulative, deviant and
a pedophile who molested and ruined the lives of innocent young boys.
He had great talent and there was just
one Michael Jackson. talented tortured deviant who only cared about himself.
look at the obvious and the people who now surround him.
The comments posted by "Rae" were pretty close to the mark.. Jackson prided himself on barely escaping continuing charges of pedophilia, then going right out and doing it again. The world is far better off with out him.
I can't believe that,I know MIchael would not do that,people abviously don't have anything better to do with their lives than to make up stories on a dead idol.Get a life who ever made this rumor up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, those of you whom posted these "nasty" comments about Michael Jackson know nothing about his personal life and have no right to comment "negatively about it! He was a great performer,a good father and above all, a HUMAN like all of us, let him rest in peace! And if you are not on his side, why did you "Google" his name?
Oh please, look at that scumbag Joe Jackson and tell me that you would have faired any better than Michael did. The man was tortured as a child and the clingers only wanted his money. Yes, he was odd, but he was a prisoner of his own fame. Sad, so very sad. I PRAY that that the Jackson family never get their talons into those poor, innocent children. Joe will have little Prince Michael in stage within two years... when the cash cow dies, milk the calf....
the two (rea and ed F.(ucker))are low life R.I.P Michael Jackson
i keep watching joseph jackson say things about his son, and his record company, at the BET awards, he is peddling his son's death, it is horrible
If we all supposed to christian than we know God said we are not judgers, he is. Judging is a sin and we are no better than the person that supposed to have committed the sin. I believe Michael Jackson was innoncent and everyone need to let his soul rest in peace.
Michael came from a disfunction family. He was doomed from the start. He was totally stupid to ever be around children after the first charge of child molestation and you better bet people told him so. And yet he could not control himself.
And now Big Daddy Joe is like a vulture wanting the spotlight on himself , his new company and his money. A bunch of vultures is what they are. I want to vomit every time I see that selfish uncaring man. Even his siblings said, what do we do without Michael? Surprise. Now they want the children and control of his money. And the money is just to go to the kids?
Please. There are enough people in that house to care for them without expense. It just takes love. Michael has not sired one of these children, he BOUGHT THEM. Even his former wife?, does not want her biological children.
How sad I feel for these children. They do not know the family they are with now. They did not even know other children.
What a crime. They are doomed too/
