Yesterday 'The Sun' newspaper was reporting that Jackson weighed only 113lbs.This information has subsequently been denied by the Los Angeles coroner's office. However, it is well known that Jackson was taking all kinds of prescription drugs and surviving of only one meal a day. His Drug addiction is long-standing, because he was in rehab in the 1990's.
Several of the drugs mentioned are designed to suppress breathing. Simply by taking a combination of these drugs alone, could be fatal. If he was also drinking alcohol the situation could certainly have become life threatening. Another of the drugs Jackson was taking is linked to eating disorders so that must also be considered a possibility. Considering Jackson has often been considered underweight an eating disorder by some would be considered an explanation.
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson thinks there may have been 'foul play.' However, Jackson's Doctor Conrad Murray has denied prescribing powerful painkillers to Jackson. Personally, I think Jackson has been taking a powerful cocktail of drugs for some time and in the end, his body just gave up on him. Although Jackson's death was accidental it was a consequence to the drugs he was taking. It is also likely the stress of performing 50 London dates may have taken its toll on his body.
Finally, in an interesting twist, Michael Jackson has left his father, Joe Jackson out of his will. It appears Michael still had strong feelings towards his father for the way he was treated as a child.
