Michael Jackson Autopsy Reveals Thin Hair, Closed Bottle of Urine

​
The Michael Jackson autopsy report is out, and reveals only a few heretofore unknown details. For instance, scene investigators found "near the foot of the bed... a closed bottle of urine atop a chair." TMZ contacts Dr. Arnold Klein, a former member of Jackson's medical team, who explains, "That's how he peed" -- in cups, bottles, and for all we know Ming vases, often in the presence of others. It was allegedly a legacy of his early show-biz days, when bathrooms were frequently unavailable.

Investigators also found, amid the medical detritus in the room, "several empty orange juice bottles," which fills in the urine picture a little.

Other findings: "The decedent's head hair is sparse and is connected to a wig." Jackson had puncture wounds in his neck and "bilaterally in the inguinal area" (either side of his crotch). Also, various bruises, and "discolorations" perhaps consistent with Jackson's reported vitiligo.

As every schoolchild now knows, cause of death was acute propofol intoxication, and Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, has been charged with and pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Murray recently added two lawyers to his defense team: Michael Flanagan, who previously defended Britney Spears on charges of unlicensed driving, and Joseph Low, who represented Murray's girlfriend during the grand jury hearings.

The business with the bottle reminds me of how Howard Hughes did the same thing; he lived for four months on nothing but chocolate bars and milk, and relieved himself in the empty bottles.

Danny says:

To all the people who constantly accuse MJ of "trying to be white", I think you owe him a big apology. He has a medical condition that requires him to use make-up to cover up the pigmented blotches --- which is more than what I can say about people who try to have darker skin by getting a tan, whether at a a beach, pool or tanning clinic. Why does nobody talk about these people and how they are abandoning their own race?? And why is it that the whites think everybody wants to look like them, and the media propagate these lies, esp. through vicious attacks on Michael Jackson?

Such bigoted fantasies have plagued Michael Jackson throughout his life and now even in death, people won't let him be. It's ok because we know now who was telling the truth and who are the jealous people are.

You people are a sad bunch!

Halloween Jack says:

Danny: It's called vitiligo, and I've known several black people that had it, and while some covered it up with brown make-up and some didn't, none of them used white make-up as a cover-up, nor did any of them have plastic surgery to give themselves stereotypically European features. You're kidding no one but yourself.

mw: as the old saying goes, you don't buy Corona, you just borrow it.

I AM UPSET WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE COURT I THINK THEY BETTER LOOK OVER THIS CASE CLOSER. THEY NEED TO PUT THAT DOCTOR AWAY FOR A LONE TIME. HE KNOW WANT HE WAS DOING BEACUSE HE WAS A HEART DOCTOR AND HE KNOW THAT DRUG WAS BAD FOR ANLYONE TO TAKE WITH OUT BEING IN THE HOSPATIL AND HE KNOW THIS.
AND NOW THE KIDS OF MICHAEL JACKSON HAVE TO GROW UP WITH OUT THERE FATHER NOT THE KING OF POP. THAT IS WAY I SAY THAT DOCTOR SHOULD BE PUT AWAY FOR A LONETIME.
