This morning, rumors surfaced in the UK that a Michael Jackson autopsy picture has been leaked and is being shopped. The "owner" is allegedly seeking $1 million.
Reports say the photo shows the deceased music icon with a shaved head, eyes open, ashy skin, lips flat, makeup removed, eyebrows tattooed, lying on his back.
The autopsy pic supposedly originated from "a high ranking police official" and was passed on via phone to another individual who is now seeking to profit from it.
A British celebrity gossip tabloid editor claims the photo could fetch a $1 million price tag. If it were real, that is, and we're quite skeptical that such a thing exists.
The scandalous Michael Jackson death photo from earlier this year.
So far, no actual autopsy pic has surfaced. But people are obsessed with the late King of Pop, perhaps more now than at any point in the last 10 years of his life.
They will therefore believe what they want to believe, and clamor for every scandalous piece of information - real or fabricated - that they can get their hands on.
In that sense, it's not hard to see why such a rumor would surface and gain traction, even though it is likely untrue, and that people would actually be interested.
Still, do you really want to see a death photo or autopsy photo of Michael Jackson? What's the appeal? Why not just attend a This Is It premiere in your area?
That way, you can get your MJ fix and actually see real footage!

This is just sick. Who ever is behind this garbage is just plain evil. I hope the Jackson family sues both the person who took this picture and ALL the tabloids that are foolish enough to publish this photo.

Please do not show any interest to purchasing or seeing this picture. Its a request to all people. For the sake of humanity, dont do it. I feel sick already thinking of something like this.

This had better now be true. Who could be so cruel as to actually take a picture like that and then shop it out. SICK! SICK! SICK! I've seen "This is It" and although I felt very sad as soon as Michael came on the screen, it was a privilege to see his last days of work. He had such talent. I really miss him.

Sorry! In my previous message I typed "now" when it should have read "not".

It is so sad that people never appreciated him until after he had to die. I have always loved him, I always will! For me, the movie was incredible to watch because I could never go to a concert of his since it was always way too far away and I really wished I could've gone while he was in CA. So, for me, it was as if I was there right in front of him, watching his every move with tears running down my face. I miss him.
