Michael Jackson’s Body Was “Riddled With Needle Marks”

Michael Jackson‘s body was riddled with needle marks when he died, multiple reports claim.
The multiple track marks and several collapsed veins — discovered after Jackson’s body was examined June 25 — could indicate he was using a powerful sedative, Diprivan, at the time of his death, according to CNN and ABC News.
On Wednesday’s Larry King Live, Jackson’s dermatologist admitted the King of Pop — died Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles — had used the sedative, administered with an IV.
“I knew at one point that he was using Diprivan when he was on tour in Germany. And so he was using it, with an anesthesiologist, to go to sleep at night,” Arnold Klein said. “And I told him he was absolutely insane. I said you have to understand that this drug, you can’t repeatedly take. Because what happens with narcotics, no matter what you do, you build a tolerance to them.”
Diprivan is usually used to induce unconsciousness in hospital patients before they undergo major surgery.
Jackson’s memorial took place 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Usher and Lionel Richie were among the celebrity participants.
