London, June 29 Leaked autopsy details suggest that Michael Jackson was a virtual skeleton with only pills in his stomach, while his body was riddled with needle wounds and surgery scars at the time of his death.

Experts reportedly found the singer's hips, thighs, and shoulders bore needle punctures, stemming from alleged injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.

A mass of surgery scars was also apparently spotted due to at least 13 cosmetic operations, while investigating the cause of King of Pop's shock death in Los Angeles on June 25.

The autopsy purportedly showed the 'Thriller' hitmaker, once hailed for his fitness, was "severely emaciated" 8st 1oz due to his assumed consumption of just one meagre meal a day.

The 5ft 10in star was also said to have virtually lost all his hair, and was discovered sporting a wig when he died. he 50-year-old bared broken ribs caused from CPR while four needle wounds were also found above or near his heart, according to reports.

The autopsy also reportedly showed yet to be explained bruising on Jackson's knees and on the fronts of both shins, along with cuts on his back.

Further damage was thought to have been brought on by oxygen masks and tubing inserted during failed resuscitation bids.

"Michael's family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in," British tabloid The Sun quoted a source close to Jackson as saying.

"He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died.

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

"His doctors and the hangers-on stood by as he self-destructed. Somebody is going to have to pay," the source added.

Jackson's family has demanded a second autopsy, which was reportedly carried out at a secret location after foul play was ruled out in the first one. (ANI)
