New details from the autopsy report of pop king Michael Jackson have revealed a shocking side to his health struggles that he hid for years before his death in June 2009 at the age of 50. According to the British newspaper 'The Mirror', the report showed the presence of scars and stab wounds spread across his body, reflecting his long struggle with chronic pain, insomnia, and dependence on medication. The autopsy revealed that Jackson's weight at the time of death was about 55 kilograms, a very low weight consistent with years of strict dieting, plastic surgeries, and possible eating disorders. Needle marks were also found on his arms, hips, thighs, and shoulders, believed to be the result of repeated injections of strong painkillers to cope with his insomnia and constant pain. No traces of oral medication were found in his stomach, despite reports that he ate only one small meal a day, which supports the hypothesis of his near-total reliance on injections. The coroner confirmed the presence of scars behind the ears and on the sides of the nose, indicating a large number of plastic surgeries the global singer underwent during his career. Experts state that these results reflect the extreme secrecy surrounding Jackson's health, as he often prevented doctors from examining certain parts of his body and was very reserved about his medical problems. The autopsy results help clarify some long-standing speculations about Jackson's health struggles, including the possibility of him suffering from anorexia, chronic pain, and a heavy dependence on prescription drugs. Experts pointed out that his severely weakened body, combined with the intensive use of medication, made him more vulnerable to an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, the drug that caused his death at his home in Los Angeles.
