A source familiar with Michael Jackson's autopsy at the Los Angeles County Coroner revealed that investigators were surprised that the pop star was healthy.
The source revealed to Fox News that Jackson appeared to be stronger than they expected. There were bruises on his chest, which indicated someone had performed CPR on him, but there was no sign of a heart attack, which is when arteries are blocked, leading to cardiac arrest.
A source told the Associated Press on Friday that Jackson had suffered a heart attack. But the Fox News source said investigators believe that wasn't the case and that drugs may have indeed played a role in stopping Jackson's heart and/or lungs.
The Fox News source also mentioned that investigators saw significant scarring on Jackon's face as this was the first time they saw him without makeup on. His body was being kept in its own private locked crypt at the morgue to prevent any photos from getting leaked.
