PHOTO. Reports today that a Michael Jackson autopsy death picture has been leaked. The Michael Jackson autopsy death photo was leaked by a “high ranking police friend” to a Los Angeles leading restaurant owner who now has it stored in his BlackBerry, is the report’s allegation.

Why a restaurant owner has the purported photo, and who he is, is unclear. Moreover how a “police friend” got access to the photo remains unanswered.

The details are profiled in a report this week that an online writer received a telephone tip about the photo’s owner. What does the photo show?

First, the claim is the photo was taken professionally, not by a cellphone. “[It's] not a cellphone picture …. [they] quality was far too good.”

Second, the allegation is that photo shows Jackson, shaven head, eyes open, eyebrows tattooed, skin ashen in color, lips flat without makeup, showing a scar on left cheek, makeup removed, lying on his back.

Third, the angle the alleged position of the cameraman is 30 degrees to the left. Beyond the telephone tip, a British tabloid editor says the photo could demand at least a $1 million sale price.
