Michael Jackson autopsy details leaked

Report reveals tattoos, lung damage and arthritis

Michael Jackson wore wigs over his cropped hair

Michael Jackson was ‘fairly healthy' before he died, according to his autopsy.

The full document has yet to be officially released by the LA coroner, but the findings have started to leak in the US.
 
The report apparently discloses that Michael suffered from chronically inflamed lungs and arthritis.

But these findings did not contribute to the heart attack that killed him in June.

‘His overall health was fine,' Dr Zeev Kain, who was not involved in the post-mortem examination, tells The Associated Press. ‘The results are in normal limits.'

According to the autopsy, Michael had punctured arms and several scars, likely to have been caused by cosmetic surgery.

The document is also reported to state that the singer, who was bald at the front of his head had a dark tattoo on his scalp - possibly to conceal his receeding hairline - and tattooed lips and eyebrows

His death has officially been ruled as homicide caused by a powerful anaesthetic.

Meanwhile, Michael's dad Joe, 79, was not allowed VIP tickets to Munich's recent Oktoberfest event because organisers felt he should be still grieving.

‘I don't think you can party shortly after your son has been buried,' boss Sepp Kraetz tells The Sun.

'Anyone who breaches decency doesn't belong here.'
