According to the autopsy report obtained by the AP, with the exception of the drug overdose, Michael Jackson was an otherwise healthy man when he died. The report indicates that his 136 pounds were in the acceptable range for a 5-foot-9 man. His heart was strong and his kidneys along with most of his other organs were normal. The 50-year old pop star did have arthritis in the lower spine and plaque buildup in his leg arteries. It seems his most serious condition involved his lungs, which the autopsy report said were chronically inflamed and left him short of breath. However, the report says that the condition was not severe enough to be a contributing cause of death.

Thats good That popstar Michael Jackson was in good Health.Dr Murray should pay for over dosing him.I say that Katherine Jackson/LaToya should take Dr Murray to court for overdosing The popstar.Also Dr Murray should be put in prison for what he did to Katherine Jacksons son Michael.LaToyas Brother.I liked watching his videos Bad Back in 1987.Dirty Diana Back in 1988.The way you make me feel Back in 1988.I say that Paris/her two brothers should get the Truth from the Autopsy people.About their popstar Father.
His body may have been healthy, but he sure was a headcase. With all of his money, why the hell didn’t he go into therapy?
No one has a right to say anything bad about Michael Jackson…most everyone who makes these type of comments don’t even know him…EVERYONE who knew him Loved him and thought he was a great person and wonderful father to those kids, so if you don’t KNOW him personally then you have no right to say bad things about him. He was an exceptionally Brilliant Entertainer and I loved him for his contribution to the world and to entertainment. I wish i would have had the opportunity to know him and love him like EVERYONE who did know him does!
