Shocking autopsy report reveals a bald, pill-popping Michael Jackson

As revealed by the British tabloid, The Sun, Jackson was "a virtual skeleton" at the time of his death. He ate barely and had only pills in his stomach. He was severely underweight, had lost all his hair and was wearing a wig.

Four needle wounds were reportedly found near his heart, apparently the result of the doctors' attempts to restart his heart by injecting adrenaline. The singer also suffered some broken ribs apparently caused by the rescuers who pumped his chest to revive him. Jackson's face bore marks of years of plastic surgery while the bridge to his nose had vanished, the report said.


"He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died," The Sun quotes a source close to Michael Jackson's family as saying.

Michael died on Thursday in Los Angeles at a rented house in Holmby Hills. While the exact cause of his death is still to be ascertained, it is believed he died of a cardiac arrest. Michael's friend Deepak Chopra has alleged that the superstar's dependency on pain-killing drugs may have caused his death.

While the coroner's office in LA has ruled out any foul play or 'external trauma' in Jackson's death after the first autopsy, a second autopsy demanded by Jackson's family was carried out on Saturday.
