Photo of a dead Jacko being shopped to US media
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 2 November 2009
A photo of a dead Michael Jackson allegedly taken during the late singer’s autopsy is reportedly being shopped around the US media, though the LA Coroner’s Office says it is almost certainly a fake because they are certain no pictures could have leaked. Website The Daily Beast says the alleged photo is currently in the hands of an LA restaurant owner, who claims to have received it from a high ranking police officer. He has been showing it to various local TV execs, presumably with the aim of turning the snap into a big bunch of cash. No word on whether any Californian media are likely to bite. The boss of the LA Coroner’s Office, Ed Winter, told The Beast that he would be able to tell whether or not the photo was real if he saw it. If it were, he admitted any leaking of a photo of the late pop star would likely lead to an internal investigation of his office.
