Michael Jackson photographed during the autopsy. The chest cavity has been completely opened and the internal organs have been removed. The cranium has also been opened to remove the brain. The face is actually rolled back approximately halfway down the skull.

According to BBC, his weight was in the acceptable range for a man of his height, but he had punctured arms, and suffered from lung damage and some arthritis. Jackson's most serious health problem was his chronically inflamed lungs, but this was not serious enough to be a contributing factor to his death. The post-mortem examination results were in normal limits.

The autopsy also revealed that he was partially bald, and that his lips, eyebrows and scalp were tattooed. Jackson was bald at the front of his head and had what appeared to be a dark tattoo stretching across his head presumably to hide his baldness.

The coroner also reported that Jackson had depigmentation of the skin around his face, chest, abdomen and arms. The Los Angeles coroner disclosed in August that Propofol and the sedative Lorazepam were the "primary drugs responsible for Mr Jackson's death".
