THE horrifying state of pop superstar Michael Jackson in his final days can be revealed by The Sun today.

Harrowing 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 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.

Experts found the distressing evidence of Jacko’s physical decline while investigating his startling death in Los Angeles last week.

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.

As inquiries into the tragedy last night focused on the star’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.

“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.”

Cardiologist Dr Murray was thought to have given Jackson the final injection of painkiller Demerol.

He is facing serious questions about his resuscitation attempts, which began when he started CPR as Jacko lay unconscious on a bed. Basic first aid guidance says patients must be face-up on a hard surface before compressions.

Experts yesterday expressed amazement that a trained cardiologist could have made such an error, potentially wasting vital minutes.

Additional damage was believed to have been caused by oxygen masks and tubing inserted during resuscitation attempts. But in an ironic twist, the probe found Jacko was recovering well from skin cancer — with an op to shave cells from his chest a total success.

A second autopsy demanded by the Jackson family was carried out at a secret location on Saturday after the first ruled out foul play.

Family friend Rev Jesse Jackson said the family were deeply suspicious about what caused his death.

Dr Murray 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.

Sources claimed the family were preparing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the cardiologist.

Detectives were unable to find the doctor at Jackson’s home and his car was taken away for analysis as police sought him for questioning. He surfaced late on Friday and was quizzed over the weekend.

The Sun told on Saturday how Jacko had developed stage fright for the first time and was terrified of performing the comeback gigs.

Aides claimed the ailing star even believed he would be KILLED if he pulled out on health grounds. We also revealed he was taking a potentially toxic cocktail of drugs.

Sources last night said prescriptions for drugs for patients other than Jacko were found at his home. Those patients were due to be quizzed.

LAUGH OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S FATHER
Joe jokes about dead son
Rachael Bletchly; Daniel Jones

Less than 24 hours after Michael Jackson died, his father Joe LAUGHED and JOKED for the cameras.

Joe, 79, shocked onlookers as he clowned around outside the family home in Los Angeles.

They said he looked "almost ecstatic" and "totally relaxed" as he trotted down the drive to chat to family friend the Rev Jesse Jackson who was giving TV interviews outside the house.

http://www.people.co.uk/news/tm_head...name_page.html

and supposedly there's also controversy over how he's to be buried... Michael Jackson is Muslim but his family is generally (some others are also muslim) Jehovas Witnesses so they might want him Creamated etc

Seriously, the media doesn't stop even after he's dead.
Atleast MJ isn't alive to be put through all this BS again.

Joe Jackson never gave a shit about MJ and I don't think MJ ever said one good thing about him his entire life. All he gave a shit about was the money and I bet he must be feeling pretty good right now that he might get a piece of his estate. And Jesse Jackson is the biggest attention whore around; he'll show anywhere a famous black person dies and start preaching like he knew them.

I think MJ’s death will forever be haunted by conspiracy theories and no will ever know what really happen. Already there are questions; did MJ try to bail out of the 50 shows? He had a huge debt to unknown people he never repaid, who were these people? He was under the nation of Islam which has been tied to all of sorts of stuff over the years and the list goes on.

i thought it was just MJ's brother Jermaine who was tied to the Nation of Islam

RIP
He will be missed

Nope, MJ supposedly joined the nation in 2003 but fired them in 2004 but they were back providing security and stuff. Once you join them, you can never leave them.

Yah, I'm not sure about his kids as well, i mean they have no black features which is very unlikely in a mix birth. Some people suspect the pictures of the kids without the masks were not his real kids. Other claim he adopted the kids. Who knows what's going on.

I came in here to post this video. This is honestly how I feel about everyone making a massive deal out of this.

Yeah, he was a huge star and has influenced a ton of artists who are at the top today. Sure, he is probably the best known celebrity in the world. And yes, there were people who legitimately loved his music.

There were heaps more who just used him as a running joke. To quote Lewis Black: "If you forget the punchline to a joke, all you have to say, is Michael Jackson"

I hate the hypocritical bullshit I'm seeing.

Michael Jackson's Final Rehearsal Rumored for Blu-ray

Posted June 29, 2009 10:54 AM by Juan Calonge

Blu-ray Movies When Michael Jackson died last week, he was rehearsing for a final series of live concerts in London. Those gigs will obviously never happen, but Jackson's last rehearsal, recorded in multi-camera, high-definition video, could be released on Blu-ray, according to concert promoters cited by the British newspaper The Independent.

The recordings were part of the deal between Jackson and concert promotion company AEG Live, which included a plan to produce a CD, DVD and Blu-ray of what Jackson had billed his "final performance" tour, titled This Is It.

One AEG official is reported to have boasted to a colleague: "We have a live album in the can." The rehearsal, which went on for several hours, included dancers, musicians and aerial performers.

Patrick Woodroffe, lighting designer, watched the final rehearsal. He said: "We had rehearsed for the last couple weeks. We put together a complicated show, quite a spectacular show. Of course a huge part of it was him, and I would say for the last week he hadn't really been with us. He would appear, and he would rehearse sometimes, and he would not rehearse."

Randy Phillips, president of AEG Live, has refused to comment for the story.

People came and went. Only maybe 20 of us stayed there for a couple of hours. I was the last one to leave with "Black or White" blaring from my car.

:(:(:(:(:(

P.S. I was told my a few girls who hung with us there, that on Friday night there was a big memorial in front of the Art Gallery with close to 200 people in attendance. the saddest part is I walked past the Robson entrance and saw nothing (not expecting to see one), but it was at the georgia street entrance.

but imo respecting his good legacies (as a musician) and the family he left behind is still a must.

this evidently goes to show that the impact of his music career far exceeded the impact of his pedophile career (that was never proven true).
people remember figures like Da Vinci for the same reason--even though he was a madman.

Wouldn't the estate go to the debtors?

Anyways, as much as I love his previous work, I really find it hard to feel bad on a personal level.

Showbiz may have killed him but he placed himself in debt with his overly extravagant lifestyle. I mean this guy didn't only own his very own theme park, but took cosmetic surgery to a whole new level, practically almost to total body reconstruction. All that just for the sake of vanity.

Seriously, it's so hard to feel sympathy when a person already had unimaginable resources available to only 1 man out of the 6 billion populous in the whole world and he still can't manage to live within his means.

^^ no buddy.

He had a very rare skin condition which turned his skin pale white. He revelealed it on Oprah in 93 i think.

How about the nose alterations or the hair straightening? Did he also have another "rare" nasal or hair disease or you think he was trying to pursue a "certain" image?

Regardless. I have my right to disbelieve just as you have every right to believe his claims. Nonetheless, my point still stands:

I guess you become paranoid about your looks when his father routinely called him ugly during his childhood.

Jackson Will From 2002 In Spotlight

Quote:

A will drafted by Michael Jackson in 2002 which divides the singer's estate among his mother, three children and one or more charities could play a central role in determining how his tangled financial relationships will be unwound.

Several people close to the late Mr. Jackson said that a lawyer for the pop singer could submit the will, believed to be his last, to Los Angeles Superior Court as soon as Thursday. That filing would cap a tense period in which relatives and advisers of the late singer debated what document, if any, was valid.

One or two other earlier wills have emerged since Mr. Jackson's death last Thursday, according to people familiar with the situation. The Associated Press reported that Mr. Jackson's parents, Joseph and Katherine Jackson, said in a Monday court filing that they believed the singer had died without a valid will. Joseph Jackson isn't believed to be included in the most recent will.

The article continues to talk about MJs assets and such.

Sucks to be the dad, knowing that you're not included in your sons will. But he deserves it.
