Rumors urface Jackson autopsy photo is obtained by ‘restaurant owner

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- A new report surfaced Wednesday suggesting a photo of the body of Michael Jackson on the autopsy table has been leaked.

On Wednesday, The Daily Beast’s Gerald Posner reported that a person described as a “prominent restaurant owner” in Los Angeles reportedly has “a high-resolution copy of what is evidently a photo from the Jackson autopsy.”

Posner writes that the restaurant owner has allegedly showed the photograph, which is allegedly on the person’s Blackberry, to a handful of television executives, and told at least one of the execs that he received the photo from a “high-ranking police friend.”

Two of the TV executives, whom Posner did not name, described the picture. One of them said it was “not a cell phone picture. The quality was far too good.”

It allegedly only shows the late star’s head from the left side.

The description of the photo matches several reports that surfaced earlier this year when the autopsy was being conducted, including that Jackson’s face had no make up on it and the front half of his skull was shaved. Previous reports in the U.K. press suggested Jackson was actually partially bald under a wig he wore, in part the result of severe burns he received while shooting a Pepsi ad in the 1980s.

Jackson also had a scar on his face, which was reportedly visible in the alleged photo.

Posner claims he contacted the restaurant owner about the photo and the person allegedly replied with the text message, “Thnk u, but at this time I’m not interested.”

When contacted by Access Hollywood, Los Angeles Chief Coroner Ed Winter said in his opinion, there cannot be any photos “floating around” from the official autopsy report.

The photos are under “lock and key,” separate from the autopsy report, he told Access on Wednesday.

Winter added that he had seen two unrelated photos of Jackson’s body, one of the pop star lying down “somewhere” and another of him supposedly in a casket. His opinion is that both images are computer-generated.
