Channel 4 Documentary Revives Stark Michael Jackson Autopsy Details

New coverage revisits established autopsy records rather than presenting fresh forensic findings.

Overview

  • Toxicology identified a lethal mix of propofol and benzodiazepines, the death was ruled a homicide, and Dr. Conrad Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
  • The post-mortem described extensive cosmetic alterations, including tattooed eyebrows and lips, a scalp tattoo to blend the hairline, and a glued wig over a mostly bald, scarred scalp with patches of peach fuzz.
  • Examiners recorded numerous injection punctures on the arms, hips, thighs, and shoulders, partially dissolved pills in the stomach, and a body weight of about 122 pounds at death.
  • The autopsy confirmed vitiligo with mottled light and dark skin and attributed chest bruising and fractured ribs to CPR efforts by paramedics.
  • Reports highlighted chronic foot problems Jackson kept private, and Murray later wrote in a 2016 memoir that he treated severe callouses and a fungal infection.
