Michael Jackson -- Healthy Drug Addict

Michael Jackson was reportedly in good health at the time of his death ... other than the fact that his body was riddled with injection sites and had arthritis and lung damage.

It sounds preposterous, but a new report claims the autopsy findings conclude Jackson was a fairly healthy 50-year-old and none of his health issues were life-threatening.

What doesn't make sense: Jackson was taking multiple powerful medicines -- sometimes in dangerous combination -- and the needle marks on his body underscore his addiction to anesthetics and other drugs. So how does that make him "fairly healthy?"

According to the report, Jackson -- who was 5'9" -- weighed 136 pounds at the time of his death.

Here's the underlying point -- the conclusion that Jackson was "fairly healthy" gives prosecutors ammo to prove Dr. Murray's dose of Propofol did Jackson in. But here's the problem -- when the jury hears about the injection sites and other drug and health problems, it could cast doubt on the Coroner's findings.

46. So what's the SOURCE for these comments TMZ & if you have the autopsy report, let's see it. I wonder how many of those needle marks were from attempts to insert IV's or central lines during the resuscitation efforts. Old IV marks or new IV marks? Where's this so-called 'report'??? I believe MJ had a drug problem but I really hate this half-assed reporting!

48. Jacko played Russian Roulette with his drugs, it could have been Murray, or, Bubbles the chimp injecting him. He got the chamber with the bullet in it that night.28% of propofol abusers die each year,most of these addicts are medical professionals. It does not matter if his drug of choice was cocaine, heroin, crack or propofol, or paint thinner,sooner or later They all will make a human body go to ground!

49. Correcting my previous post: TMZ, you are really late with this news. Foxnews reported this June 27th, 2 days AFTER MJ died. Read it for yourself.

50. 38. So TMZ, you were all yapping that he was a drug addict and he took all these dangerous drugs... FAIL!!!

Apparently, the autopsy doesn't agree with you. His organs were all fine!!! HA HA HA...now spin this TMZ.

TMZ, YOU ARE FULL OF IT.

Now, I am waiting for the LAPD to book Murray and his accomplices.

Sorry, but the autopsy report hasn't been released yet. If you've seen it do you have a link?? I've known addicts who were actively using for YEARS & their organs were fine. Including their liver. I'm one of them.

51. Uh... Michael died on June 25th, 2009. The story was posted two days AFTER he died, not before.

52. 42. So what's the SOURCE for these comments TMZ & if you have the autopsy report, let's see it.

Very true janala14! There could be many reasons why MJ had those needle remarks. REMEMBER THAT NURSE THAT BROKE THE STORY ABOUT THE PROPOFOL?! SHE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO NEEDLE MARKS ON MJ.

So those marks could have been made later, or when Dr. Murray was trying to correct the error he made. TMZ, why do you always overlook this part of what the nurse said? It's as if you WANT MJ TO BE A DRUG ADDICT.

53. yay! i knew he was healthy!

BOBBY HILL: "Who? Who in the media tricked you?"
PEGGY HILL: "Bobby, I don't know their names. It's more of a conspiracy."

love you healthy michael!!

54. interesting. at first the reports were he weighed 110lbs when he died. More false reports on MJ, that's no surprise. Lung damage? Arthritis, if true, is very painful and it flairs up at different times in the joints, making it impossible to even walk stairs or do different small tasks and would explain the pain medication. Also, where is doc Murray?

55. Just in from the AP(sitting here with the tv on!)Mild plaque build up in his leg arteries. Weight was 138lbs. Had arthritis. Tatoo'ed eyes & lips. Had arthritis. Mild plaque build up in arteries. Autopsy states, he was "In overall good health". Puncture marks on arms. Scars on face & neck.

56. This is, again, something to keep us busy.............
Without a source or the actual report this doesn't mean anything.
First want to see it than I will believe it!

57. Michael had a 'dancers body', and was always in great physical shape. The lupus may have been a contributing factor to the arthritis and lung issues. I am so tired of people still insinuating that he was a child molester. The man was tormented in life - now his family, particularly his kids, are getting the same crap. He was aquitted on ALL charges. People admitted they lied for money! If he was guilty of anything it was trying to help others and being naive in the fact that others would try to drag him through the mud. I love you, Mike!

Yes. See my post above. Just heard this as report from the AP on my television. I'm sure getting an IV in him was next to impossible. No punctures on neck, just arms. Propofol infusions aside(who knows how many Murray attempted), his arms could have been a mess from resuscitation ALONE!

59. ok but where is the justice for mj

60. Here we go again w/ the nutjob's fans that are in denial!

Healthy Drug Addict? Quite the oxymoron! Guess that's what you get when the family hires their own medical examiner to take a look!
