Michael Jackson Autopsy Results Are.... Surprisingly Normal

Michael Jackson's autopsy finds he wasn't "sickly skeleton of a man"

I know there are lots of folks (including myself) who cringed at the thought of what an autopsy on Michael Jackson would reveal, but according to this associated press article the actual report is not as bad as one might think. While there were definitely signs of surgery and cosmetic procedures, Michael was "a fairly healthy 50-year-old" with a strong heart, healthy organs and a normal weight for someone his height. The lone health issue may have been with his lungs:

"Most serious was his lungs, which the autopsy report said were chronically inflamed and had reduced capacity that might have left him short of breath.

However, according to the document, the lung condition was not serious enough to be a direct or contributing cause of death."

Other nuggets of info that may be of interest:

- Official cause of death was "acute propofol intoxication", three sedatives were also present in his system.

- No other drugs - legal or otherwise - were detected, nor was any alcohol.

- He had a ¾-inch scar behind his left ear and another apparent scar behind his right ear. He had a scar beside each of his nostrils and another, 4-inch scar on his right shoulder. He had a pair of additional scars about 3-inches long at the base of his neck and smaller scars on his arms and wrist. He also had a small scar in the region of his naval and a 2-inch scar on the right-hand side of his abdomen.

- Jackson had several tattoos, all them cosmetic, including dark tattoos in the areas of both eyebrows and under his eyes, and a pink tattoo around his lips.

-He was going bald at the front of his head, with his remaining hair described as short and tightly curled. The bald part of his scalp was darkened with what appeared to be a tattoo stretching across the top of his head from ear to ear.

The coroner found depigmentation of his skin around his chest, abdomen, face and arms.

The coroner also found Jackson was actively producing sperm.
