Earlier this week, The Daily Beast\u2019s Gerald Posner reported that a person described as a \u201cprominent restaurant owner\u201d in Los Angeles reportedly has \u201ca high-resolution copy of what is evidently a photo from the Jackson autopsy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Posner wrote that the restaurant owner has allegedly showed the photograph, which is allegedly on the person\u2019s Blackberry, to a handful of television executives, and told at least one of the execs that he received the photo from a \u201chigh-ranking police friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two of the TV executives, whom Posner did not name, described the picture. One of them said it was, \u201cnot a cell phone picture. The quality was far too good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It allegedly only shows the late star\u2019s head from the left side.<\/p>\n<p>The description of the photo matches several reports that surfaced earlier this year when the autopsy was being conducted, including that Jackson\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson also had a scar on his face, which was reportedly visible in the alleged photo.<\/p>\n<p>And on Thursday, Posner, who has not seen the photo, explained to Access Hollywood that it was the detail of Jackson\u2019s scar, described independently by the two TV execs, which made the investigative journalist believe the picture is authentic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason this picture is believed to be authentic is Michael Jackson had a scar on his left cheek that very few people knew about. He hid that scar whenever he went out in public with makeup,\u201d Posner told Access. \u201cWhen stripped of makeup, that scar is visible. In this picture, there is a scar on the left cheek where it is supposed to be. That\u2019s one of the reasons I don\u2019t believe it is a fake autopsy photo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Posner claims he contacted the restaurant owner about the photo and the person allegedly replied with the text message, \u201cThnk u, but at this time I\u2019m not interested.\u201d When contacted by Access Hollywood, Los Angeles Chief Coroner Ed Winter said in his opinion, there cannot be any photos \u201cfloating around\u201d from the official autopsy report.<\/p>\n<p>The photos are under \u201clock and key,\u201d separate from the autopsy report, he told Access on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Winter added that he had seen two unrelated photos of Jackson\u2019s body, one of the pop star lying down \u201csomewhere\u201d and another of him supposedly in a casket. His opinion is that both images are computer-generated.<\/p>\n<p>But Posner told Access it is not clear whether the reported photo is official, or was snapped under different circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not clear as to whether it\u2019s an official photo taken by the Coroner or whether it\u2019s what I call a \u2018Trophy Photo,\u2019 taken by somebody who had access to the autopsy and took it and put it on their phone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Posner said the restaurant owner, who he cannot name for legal reasons, did not appear to want to sell the photo. But the writer believes \u201che can\u2019t be the only person\u201d out there with the picture. And if someone does decide to sell, Posner said the selling price would likely be high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhoto experts and paparazzi believe that photo is worth over $1 million if sold,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re talking about this kind of money \u2013 a million dollars plus \u2013 it\u2019s very tempting for someone to leak out a photo and eventually sell it, despite the legal ramifications,\u201d he later added. \u201cUnfortunately, we may see one of these in print.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesshollywood.com\/rumors-surface-michael-jackson-autopsy-photo-is-obtained-by-restaurant-owner_article_24817\">AccessHollywood<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new report has surfaced suggesting a photo of the body of Michael Jackson on the autopsy table has been leaked.
