Michael Jackson’s second autopsy has been completed — and the star’s family is shocked at the results.
The Jackson family requested a second autopsy after the initial examination — conducted by the L.A. County Coroner — concluded that there was no trauma to the star’s body and “no indication of foul play”.
But the second autopsy has confirmed the findings of the first.
The news was broken to Jacko’s mother Katherine at her home by the coroner who conducted the private examination.
The Jacskon’s lawyer, Brian Oxman, said the findings were consistent and that the star’s body bore “a number of unique and significant marks and injuries”.
“The second autopsy is done and the coroner came to see Katherine last night,” Oxman told The Sun.
“Any autopsy report would note a number of unique and significant marks and injuries on the body of Michael Jackson.
“Firstly the four puncture marks on his chest from the needle. Well I’ve seen those marks on his chest — I’ve seen his body — so I know they’re there.
“His weight — we know he was incredibly lean. Regarding baldness, Michael does have a distinctive patch on the side of his head. I know that his brother, who is only six years older, has a similar fuzz from losing his hair and has to dye it.
“Regarding the tablets in his stomach — well we know he was taking a lot of prescription drugs. That hasn’t been denied.
“There should be a healed broken fracture on his left leg and on the vertebrae of his back.
“And Michael has a very distinct pattern of vitiligo scars on his chest. They covered his chest and were in a leopard pattern.”
Jackson, 50, died Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.
The King of Pop will have both a public and a private funeral.
A public memorial will be held at Neverland Ranch on Friday, July 3, NBC News and CNN reported.
In addition, a private funeral will be held at Jackson’s famed estate in Santa Barbara for the Jackson family on Sunday.
