MJ was healthy according to the autopsy report obtained by USA Today. The autopsy findings cut off a potential defense for Conrad Murray. Dr. Murray cannot claim that Jackson hid serious pre-existing conditions that increased the risk of death from the drugs he willingly took.
Clip:
....the Los Angeles County coroner's report shows Jackson was a fairly healthy 50-year-old before he died of an overdose. His 136 pounds were in the acceptable range for a 5-foot-9 man. His heart was strong with no sign of plaque buildup. And his kidneys and most other major organs were normal.

Interesting, but what does that mean? You can be healthy AND die of an overdose of drugs or something like that, the question is: was it his or somebody´s else intention to get the overdose???

Around the time that the autopsy was released didn't at least one source say that a side effect (of the drug administered through IV/I have forgotten the name) was arythmia of the heart/heart could stop?

The official autopsy report has not yet been released. Apparently, the Associated Press obtained a copy probably from someone connected with the Coroner's office. According to the posted article, three benzodiazepines and propofol were the only drugs found. One benzo puts the patient under, three increase danger. The benzos interact with each and increase the risk of respiratory arrest. The D.A.'s office might be ready to file charges against Murray. I read earlier the Coroner's office was delaying release of the report in coordination with the D.A's office until the D.A.'s office had all their ducks in a row and make a decision whether to file charges. The report also confirms that all these stories that came out about MJ's appearance were false.

Dude, move on to the politics board. But I'm sure they;ll eat you alive over there. If you don't want to read or talk about it, then don't post.

It's surprising to me (I'm not a doctor, or scientist, or anyone who knows anything about chemistry) that a person can take that many drugs for a couple of decades and not have any organ damage of any kind. It makes you wonder if drugs are really "that bad" for you, I'm not advocating drug use, because they will ruin your life in other ways.

Anyhow, it's time to arrest Murray. He killed him, plain and simple. I don't care who he was or what he demanded, if you are a doctor, you just can't do that. Time to face the music.

I never thought of MJ as not being basically healthy as far as his body and organs etc. I don't get what the big news is that he died "healthy".

I'm glad the report confirmed this. Maybe it will put an end to talk about how frail MJ was. I hope, anyway lol.

These autopsy reports coming out are inconsistent. I don't know which one to believe.

I don't think there have been any other reports released. There were "leaks" from the Coroner's office. I remember one of the leaks was that MJ only weighed 100 lbs. and that he was totally bald and other false information.
