MEDICS FOUND JACKSON EMACIATED AND 'LILY WHITE'

MICHAEL JACKSON's body was "lily white" and emaciated when paramedics arrived to try to save the superstar, who had slipped into a coma at his rented home in Los Angeles on 25 June (09).
The King of Pop was pronounced dead hours later after medics at UCLA Medical Center were unable to revive him - and now reports about his condition just before he passed away are hitting news networks.
One unidentified source tells CNN that Jackson had track marks all over his arms and there were bottles of prescription pills and other "dangerous drugs" all over his bedroom.
But his appearance shocked the medics, with one telling CNN Jackson's body was "lily white from head to toe", adding the star's "paper-white skin" was as "white as a T-shirt".
The singer's veins in both arms were reportedly collapsed, suggesting heavy intravenous drug use.
Other reports suggest Jackson had been self-medicating with strong anaesthesia drugs Propofol and Diprivan in an effort to sleep.
The drugs should only be given in a hospital environment by a trained professional. It is known to produce respiratory apnoea.
Toxicology reports, which will help investigators fathom what killed the King of Pop, will be available in the coming weeks.
