Michael Jackson was healthy before his death, according to The Associated Press, which obtained a copy of Jackson's autopsy report.

The Los Angeles County coroner's report listed Jackson at a healthy weight for a man of his height (136 pounds). Jackson also had a strong heart and his major organs were normal, according to the report.

Some minor health problems were found: Jackson had arthritis in the lower spine and a few fingers as well as mild plaque buildup in his leg arteries. The most alarming issue was Jackson's lungs, which were chronically inflamed and had reduced capacity, according to the report. The autopsy noted that his lung condition was not severe enough to have either caused or contributed to his death, however.

According to the coroner's office, Jackson's June 25 death was caused by "acute propofol intoxication," with two other sedatives listed as contributing factors. Last month, the coroner's office ruled Jackson' death a homicide...

1. I'm not sure how this is latest breaking news on Democratic Underground.

I thought we were about politics.

5. Is it just me or does 136 lbs seem too skinny? Michael Jackson was 5'10''

12. It's not just you.

He was 25-30 pounds underweight for a man who is that height.

Men: 106 pounds of body weight for the first 5 feet of height, 6 pounds for each additional inch.
Add 10% for a large frame size, and subtract 10% for a small frame size.

That means 150 minimum for a small frame. But judging according to the size of his hands and wrists, I think he had a large frame. That means 170-180 pounds would be 'normal'.

13. He should have been at least 145 to 150 ilbs. He would have still

been considered slender and lean.

15. Drug overdose is the only tangible evidence of "The Fountain Of Youth".

it worked extremely well for Janis, Jimi, Cobain, Jim Morrison, Sid Vicious, et al.

they'll never grow old!

Further- HAD Jimi and Janis lived to the 21st Century, certainly they'd be doing PBS pledge drives...

7. The before death/after death contrast in health was striking.

Indeed.

10. Feel free to click the button

I just read about it last night and at the time that I posted this, the article was nine hours old. However, Mr. Jackson's death and theories about the cause of his demise were pretty damned popular on this board. I did a search on this forum and found no one had posted anything, so I posted it. I feel it's as relevant to this forum as the Polanski article currently near the top of this page.

But like I said, if you want it moved then you know what to do.

11. I know what to do and I did it before I posted. When a mod sees it, it will be moved. n/t
