The shocking findings


Quoting leaked post-mortem results, The Sun said the 5ft 10 singer's body was "severely emaciated" and his stomach contained nothing more than partially dissolved pills.Despite having a punishing rehearsal schedule for his upcoming concerts, Jackson was understood to be eating once a day.The Sun also claimed to have seen notes that said Jackson's hair had fallen out and that his face was covered in plastic surgery scars. Several of his ribs were allegedly broken and injection sites were visible from where medics had tried to kick-start his heart with shots of adrenaline. But a statement from the Los Angeles County coroner said that the report is not accurate and that some of it is totally false.
Dr Charles Knight, a consultant cardiologist and secretary of the British Cardiovascular Society, said that the injections of adrenaline given to Jackson would not have been a "first-line treatment" but were likely to have been given to the singer in the hospital when other methods of resuscitation had failed. The fatal cardiac arrest suffered by Jackson could have been caused by a variety of different things, he added.
