Michael Jackson's close friend Liza Minnelli said "all hell's going to break loose" when the late singer's autopsy results are released. Her prediction seems spot-on as a leaked version of an official autopsy has become public and it's pretty shocking.

Michael — who stood at 5'10 — was a "virtual skeleton," weighing only 112lbs. at the time of his death, reports U.K.'s The Sun, which obtained a copy of the report. Needle marks believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers covered the singer's hips, thighs and shoulders. Four more injections were around his heart, which appeared to result from attempts to pump adrenaline directly into it when CPR attempts failed.

Surgery scars all over his body indicate "at least 13 cosmetic operations," the paper states. A scarred section of skin above his ear, which left a bald patch, was the result of the 1984 accident during which his hair caught fire while he was filming a Pepsi commercial. In fact, almost all of his hair was missing. He was wearing a wig when he died which covered peach fuzz atop his head.

"He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and he had been eating nothing but pills when he died," the paper quotes a source as saying. "Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he'd been in terminal decline for years.

Several of his ribs were broken as rescuers performed CPR on him — at length — while he was at his rented Los Angeles home on Thursday. There were also bruises on his knees and shins and cuts on his back.

The only thing in his stomach at the time of his death were pills, says the article.

Michael's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, discovered Michael in bed and not breathing. Over the weekend the doctor was interviewed by detectives from the LAPD and, via a rep, denied media reports that he prescribed or gave Michael the drugs Demerol or OxyContin.

The autopsy results could be made public in anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The results from a second autopsy performed at the request of the family -- are expected at the end of the week. However, it's unclear whether or not the Jackson family will make the complete report public.

Please people have respect for this man ,his children and family.Now all these crazy things are surfacing in him being gay with several lovers.LET HIM REST IN PEACE.... It all about what people can profit. There will never be an entertainer like him. I love you Michael and may you have peace. My prayers go out to the children and Ms Kate Jackson ...

I really wish that the media would just leave Michael Jackson alone. Everyone is so focused on the negative things that he did. What about all of the money that he gave to the charities. MJ gave us his music and his heart, so whatever he did in his private life was none of our business. To Joke's On You who are you to judge, you're not God. Only MJ will have to answer to God for the things that he did.

OVERALL, Michael was, and WILL ALWAYS be the No. 1 Entertainer in the world.. no matter what genre of music.. rap, dance, jazz or country music, NOONE does or did it like him. Bout the death speculations, we'll soon find out. and his life controversy (child molestation, drugs.) YOU try having the biggest celebrity on earth ask u to visit him at his own home, and say NO.. wouldnt happen. esp. if he showers u with gifts. Never say Never. HE'S INNOCENT, thats y he died free and not in a jail cell.

this is really SAD

If he had needle marks all over his body it may be that the public who crucified him drove him to self medicate. We never know why one abuses anything but it usually is to mask pain. He seems to have been a tortured soul for years. All I know is his parents, children and brothers do not deserve for the public to crucify him now for having needle marks on his body. Let the man have peace that he never got in life.

He will be sorely missed by so many. We lost a great talent. With so much more to come. His children are the true victims.
