Michael Jackson's Gruesome Autopsy Report a Fake?

Michael Jackson‘s death is the first of a worldwide-universal-super-ultra-alpha-star in the Age of No One Reads Newspapers.  Since most readers get their news online and since the internet knows no limits in time or space, online news sources have been tripping over each other to be first to break stories on the details of Jackson’s death (and thus direct hits to their sites).

This need for speed coupled with the fact that everyone expects the internet to be full of lies anyway creates fake-news misfires all the time (Harrison Ford lives!), but Jackson’s extreme celebrity has made news sites especially eager and sloppy in their reporting.  The latest questionable coverage: a report on Jackson’s autopsy, which supposedly revealed a body in terrible condition…  

Jackson’s body had wasted away to a mere 112 pounds, and his stomach was completely empty except for partially dissolved pills, according to the London Sun.

His hips, thighs and shoulders were covered with needle wounds, believed to have come from shots of painkillers, and he was wearing a wig when he was found because his hair had been reduced to a “peach fuzz” on his scalp, the report said.

“He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out, and he had been eating nothing but pills when he died,” a source close to the singer’s entourage told the paper.

“Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for some years.”

The report also cited broken ribs from CPR attempts to revive Jackson, as well as plastic surgery scars.

An hour ago, TMZ counter-broke a story of their own: that the autopsy report is “completely false.”
