The photos were taken prior to and throughout the autopsy procedure following the 50-year-old singer’s death on June 25 last year.

The coroner’s report emerged as Jackson’s physician Conrad Murray was bailed on Monday after pleading not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter for administering the drug propofol, which was said to have caused the star’s death.

The “immediate cause” of Jackson’s death was listed by the medical examiner as “Acute propofol intoxication”.

A deluge of other drugs, however, including lorazepam (for anxiety), midazolam (for inducing sedation), lidocaine (a local anaesthetic), diazepam (valium) and nordiazepam (for anxiety) were also identified in blood samples.

According to the report, Jackson’s hair was sparse and connected to a wig, there was evidence of multiple plastic surgery, nose jobs and implants.

“There is frontal balding and the hair can be described as short and tightly curled,” the report claimed.

Jackson’s hair line was tattooed on, as were other facial features.

“There is a dark skin discoloration resembling a tattoo on the anterior half of the scalp. There are dark tattoos in the areas of both eyebrows and at the superior and interior borders of the palperbral fissures. There is a pink tattoo in the region of the lips,” observed a corner’s investigator.

Puncture wounds on his neck, arms and legs were graphically detailed in the 51 pages report which gives vivid detail supporting last August’s conclusion that Jackson died from “acute propofol intoxication”. There were 13 puncture marks on Jackson’s body, and 38 marks in total.

The autopsy report also described Jackson as “thin”, weighing just 136 pounds (62kg) at five ft. nine ins. (175cm) tall.

“Jackson was extremely underweight for his frame. Reports indicate he weighed 136 lbs, this could indicate on [sic] anorexia,” Gary Brazina, M.D, FACS California reports.

“The amounts of drugs given to someone with this body type needs to be closely regulated as a thin or anorexic individual would generally require lower dosages.”

“Propofol is an extremely potent short acting agent used to put patients to sleep in order to induce full anaesthesia,” Brazina explained.

“This drug is and should only be used in an operating room or Intensive Care Unit with the patient under constant monitoring. A written record is made in an operating room every five minutes in patients who have been given this agent.”

The autopsy report also indicated that at the time of death Jackson was suffering from “chronic lung inflammation, respiratory bronchiolitis, diffuse congestion and patchy haemorrhage of right and left lungs”.
