Details of Michael Jackson's autopsy, revealing the emaciated state of the star at the time of his death, have been leaked to press, the Sun reports. Sources say Jackson weighed just 8st 1oz when he died and his stomach was empty but for several partially-dissolved pills. His body was marked with numerous needle wounds resulting from painkiller injections, while he was also said to have been wearing a wig as he had lost all his hair except for thin "peach fuzz" that covered his head, it was also claimed.
"Michael's family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in," an insider adds. "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."
A second autopsy demanded by the Jackson family was carried out on Saturday after the first ruled out foul play.
