Jacksons body riddled with needle marks: report
2009-07-09
[Al Arabiya Latest] The day after an estimated billion people watched Michael Jackson's star-studded funeral, attention returned Wednesday to the role of drugs in his death with reports that his body was riddled with needle marks when he died.
Did anyone expect anything else?
" I say that anyone who makes someone an addict or gives a person potentially dangerous substances directly to them to use, like propofol is a criminal "
Arnold Klein, dermatologist
The marks could indicate use of a powerful sedative that has been at the center of the investigation into the superstar's death that includes an investigation of five doctors who were treating him.

CNN and ABC News cited unidentified sources involved in the probe as saying multiple track marks and several collapsed veins were discovered after Jackson's body was examined following his death on June 25.

The marks on Jackson's body "could certainly be consistent with the regular IV use of a drug, like Diprivan," CNN quoted the source as saying.

Several bottles of Diprivan, the brand name for the potent sedative propofol that is usually only used in hospitals ahead of major surgery, were reportedly found at Jackson's home after his death.

#7  Thus far, and all afflictions equal, I've seen nuthin on the MSM-Net to disprove that "the Gloved/Nosed/Moon One" did NOT suffer from massive depression, and twas NOT person/suicidally starving himself to death = back to his CHILDHOOD [WEIGHT = 112-Ibs] WHEN HE WAS LAST A HAPPY JACKSON.

#6  He was videotaped doing dance choreography on the day before his death. He looked healthier than most 50 year olds. I suspect there was some lethal combination of legal chemicals.

#5  Perhaps it was just because his personal doctor had to try over and over just to find a spot of living flesh, one with some vein, to do an hypo??? You can't inject anything if your needle is stuck in a spongy-like necrosed organic matter, can you?

#2  Just because he looked like a skinny pincushion it doesn't necessarily mean he was abusing drugs. We don't know what true medical problems he may have had.

#1  Did anyone expect anything else? Apparently the local law enforcement people didn't expect anything like that & so neglected to seal the place immediately after MJ's death until it could be adequately searched for evidence.
