Michael Jackson had 'unknown liquid' in his stomach

Michael Jackson had an 'unknown liquid' in his stomach at his time of his death, a court heard yesterday.
Michael Jackson had an 'unknown liquid' in his stomach at his time of his death, a court heard yesterday.

In the tenth day of testimony in the trial against Dr. Conrad Murray, the court listened to forensic pathologist, Dr. Christopher Rogers, tell what he found when he undertook the singer's autopsy.

While being questioned by the prosecution, the medical examiner rebutted Murray's version of events that the singer had self-administered the lethal dose of Propofol as he said it would have been impossible to do.

But under cross examination by Murray's lawyer, Michael Flanagan, Rogers admitted that there was an unknown liquid in the Thriller star's stomach that they were not able to identify.

'There was dark liquid found in Mr. Jackson's stomach,' Rogers said. 'It could have been fruit juice. it's unknown what the dark liquid was.'

Rogers also revealed that approximately 70 grams was taken from Jackson's stomach.

Flanagan also showed the court nine-and-a-half Lorazepam pills from a prescription bottle that was found on Jackson's bedside in his California home where he died.

The family of the late King of Pop cried as jurors were shown shocking images of a dead Jackson laying naked on the autopsy table.

Rogers said that the singer was 5' 9' and weighed 136lbs and 'was healthier than the average person of his age'.

Jackson died at age 50 on June 25 2009 leaving behind three children.

Court will resume later today and the trial is expected to last up to six weeks. Murray has denied the charges against him of involuntary manslaughter.
