**Pop star Michael Jackson had a strong heart and was a “fairly healthy” 50-year-old, according to an autopsy report obtained in the US.**His weight was in the acceptable range for a man of his height, according to The Associated Press.
But the singer, who died of a heart attack in June, had punctured arms, tattooed lips and eyebrows and suffered from lung damage and some arthritis.
Jackson’s death was ruled as homicide caused by a powerful anaesthetic.
The Los Angeles coroner disclosed in August that Propofol and the sedative Lorazepam were the “primary drugs responsible for Mr Jackson’s death”.
The drugs were administered by Jackson’s physician Dr Conrad Murray, and the verdict has been considered likely to increase the chances of criminal charges being brought against his doctors.
According to the document, Jackson’s most serious health problem was his inflamed lungs, but this was not serious enough to be a contributing factor to his death.
“His overall health was fine,” said Dr Zeev Kain of the University of California, who reviewed the report for AP.
“The results are in normal limits,” he added.
The full autopsy report has yet to be officially released to the public, but the conclusion that Jackson’s death was homicide has been disclosed.
