Jackson 'autopsy findings leaked'

The details of Michael Jackson's autopsy have been leaked, reportedly showing the star to be in an advanced state of decline at the time of his death.

According to The Sun, Jackson was "severely emaciated" and weighed 8st 1oz when he died, while his stomach was empty except for partially-dissolved pills that have been sent for tests.

The singer is said to have been wearing a wig and had lost almost all his hair, with only a "peach fuzz" covering his scalp.

His thighs, shoulders and hips were marked with needle wounds resulting from painkiller injections, while four needle entry sites were found near his chest following failed attempts to restart his heart with adrenaline.

A source close to the Jackson entourage said: "Michael's family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in.

"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."

It has been reported that Jackson's family had asked for a second autopsy to be carried out on the body of the star.
