Michael Jackson’s arms were covered with puncture marks, his face and neck were scarred by plastic surgery and he had a bald spot covered by a tattoo, as well as tattooed eyebrows and lips, an autopsy into his death has revealed.
The singer was also suffering from arthritis in his lower spine and some fingers and his lungs were chronically inflamed which might have left him short of breath.
However, the autopsy report showed the 50-year-old singer was generally healthy for his age before he died of an overdose in June.
He was not emaciated and weighed 136 pounds (62 kg), which was within the normal range for his height, and his heart was strong. His kidneys and other major organs were normal.
According to the document his lung condition was not serious enough to be a direct or contributing cause of death.
Dr. Zeev Kain, chairman of the anesthesiology department at the University of California, Irvine, who reviewed a copy of the autopsy report, said: “His overall health was fine. The results are within normal limits.”
The autopsy report showed that Jackson had a 2cm scar behind his left ear and another apparent scar behind his right ear.
He had a scar beside each of his nostrils and a 10cm scar on his right shoulder. There were two additional scars, each about 7.5cm long, at the base of his neck, and smaller scars on his arms and wrist. Dr Kain, who was not involved in conducting the autopsy, said most of the scars appeared to be from plastic surgery.
Jackson also had several tattoos, all of them cosmetic, including dark tattoos in the areas of both eyebrows and under his eyes, and a pink tattoo around his lips.
He was going bald at the front

I don’t think that guy was ever healthy.
He looks like an escapee from a freak show on the boardwalk.
Not bad for a guy who's been dead for three months.
certainly not mentally healthy
I'd hate to see what they call unhealthy!
I have no idea why this was included. Jackson was a weirdo and in general a freak, but he was after all, still a man.
I would bet 99 % of the male population still produce sperm at the age of 50
Please. For the Love of God. Can we just let this freak die in peace and never bring him up again? Thank you.
Not as many punctures as he should have had.
As opposed to WHAT? Is it possible to passively produce sperm? Sheesh, journalism is a dead art.
He was not emaciated and weighed 136 pounds (62 kg), which was within the normal range for his height,
huh wha? 136 normal for what 5’ No wonder that life insurance premiums are out of this world 5’10 195 perfectly healthy male - on their charts I am considered obese.
fatso. lol
That Pepsi commercial accident was a turning point for him. All the more a shame that this sort of healthy, relatively young man has died prematurely and his kids are left without the only parent they’ve known.
Shows how insane their normal weight charts are.
Because there was the rumor he was sterile.
One rumor claimed his father had him surgically castrated to preserve his voice.
I'm glad to hear that one is not true!
