Michael Jackson's life was certainly a strange one, but just as he lived -- he died in much the same way. Details are now emerging about his death, his will and the plans for his funeral...The Autopsy. Results were leaked by the UK Sun and later retracted, in part.
The Times reports, on L.A. Now, that the Los Angeles coroner's office has dismissed these reports. An autopsy was done Friday by the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Toxicology tests will take several weeks to complete...."I don't know where that information came from, or who that information came from. It is not accurate. Some of it is totally false," said coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey. Some? The Sun report describes Jackson as weighing 112 pounds. His stomach was completely empty except for partially dissolved pills. It claims his hips, thighs and shoulders were covered with needle wounds. ... According to one Sun source, the “injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he'd been in terminal decline for some years." The Sun also reported fresh injections around his heart from attempts to pump adrenaline into it to jump-start it. [la times]The Will. Jackson names his mother as guardian of his three children. Should she be unable to do so, the custody reverts to a close friend, instead of one of his many siblings.
The close, lifelong ties between Michael Jackson's and his friend Diana Ross are made dramatically clear in his 2002 will – he chose her to raise his three children if his mother is unable to do so. The Jackson family matriarch Katherine Jackson, who is now watching the children, is named as the primary guardian, followed by Ross, 65, if Katherine dies or "is unwilling or unable" to act as guardian, according to the will, released Wednesday. ...It was signed almost exactly seven years ago, on July 7, 2002, and predates a 2005 custody fight between Jackson and Debbie Rowe, 51, the mother of his two older children, Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11. Rowe's attorney claims Rowe now has parental rights over those kids, which she can exercise now if she chooses. (Jackson has a third child, Blanket, 7, whose mother is unknown.) [people]
The Funeral. Petition filed to bury Jackson on his Neverland Ranch denied.
Michael Jackson will not be allowed to rest in peace at his beloved Neverland Ranch. The singer's family, who wanted a funeral at Jackson's former home north of Santa Barbara, was not able to obtain a residential exemption required for a burial on private property. ... Colony Capital, the investment company that purchased Neverland in May 2008, tried to get an exemption for burial. "They couldn't get it in time," a Colony spokesperson says. [people]
