Michael Jackson Autopsy

The 'King of Pop's' full autopsy report was just released, and it reveals some information that has and has not been made public before in the media.

According to the Los Angeles County Coroner's 51-page report, regarding Michael Jackson's untimely June 25th passing, his death is now officially labeled a homicide. The report also went on to state the following:

--We all know that Jackson died of "acute propofol intoxication." But did you know that an anesthesioliogist was hired as a consultant and summarized, that there were "no reports of its use in insomnia relief?" The consultant also went on to state in the report, that the "recommended equipment for patient monitoring, precision dosing and resuscitation was not present. The standard of care for administering propofol was not met."

--There was speculation and denials that Jackson had the skin pigmentation disorder vitiligo. The report confirms that the singer did in fact have the disease and was covered with patches on his face, chest, abdomen and arms.

--Jackson wore a wig. He was actually bald in the front, and his sparse, short, dark, curly hair measured about one and a half inches in length.

--Right on the tip of the pop idol's nose was a bandage.

--Jackson had scars everywhere on his body: face, legs, shoulders, arms, neck even behind his ears.

--He apparently had a few tattoos, both eyebrows and a small pink one near his lips.

--A total of 13 "puncture wounds" were found on Jackson's body--on the right side of his neck, both arms and both ankles.

--In addition to propofol, the autopsy stated, the 50-year-old had a host of drugs flowing through his body--lidocaine, diazepam, nordiazepam, lorazepam, midazolam and ephedrine.

--Unfortunately, Jackson was battling quite a few medical problems at the time of death--"chronic lung inflammation, respiratory bronchiolitis, diffuse congestion and patchy hemorrhage of right and left lungs."

--The coroner also reported finding a closed bottle of urine on a chair in the bedroom, where the singer died, along with a box of catheters, disposable needles, alcohol pads, several empty orange juice bottles, a string of wooden beads and a green oxygen tank.

--At the time of death, the world's greatest entertainer weighed a mere 136 pounds and was 5'9" in height. Jackson was categorized as "thin" on the report.
