Michael Jackson used a number of different aliases to buy prescription drugs, it has been claimed.

Jackson, 50, died Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles. It has been widely reported that an overdose of prescription is to blame for the superstar’s unexpected death.

This is what TMZ is currently reporting:

Michael Jackson used a slew of aliases to score prescription meds, and we know the two names that could unlock the key to gross abuse by Jackson and some prominent doctors.

We’ve learned Jackson frequently used the names Omar Arnold and Jack London to get powerful drugs, including Demerol. Jackson also used the name of one of his bodyguards, as well as the name of the office manager for one of his doctors.

The DEA, which is joining to assist the LAPD in its investigation of several doctors who prescribed drugs to Jackson, will be hunting down these names and others.

Sources tell us the prescription abuse was so egregious, one doctor would call the pharmacy and say Jackson was coming down to get Demerol. The pharmacy would then fill the prescription, leaving the patient’s name blank.

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.”

The Jacksons recently denied reports that Michael would be buried at his Neverland ranch.
