London, August 16: Pop icon Michael Jackson was clinically dead long before medical help turned up at his LA home, a report said today.
Paramedic chiefs and staff at UCLA hospital have revealed to the News of the World details of the report which was overseen by three specialist paramedics.
The report made on a comprehensive official form, makes clear the King of Pop had already got no pulse, there was no sign of heart activity and had stopped breathing.
But most tellingly the star’s body showed clear signs of lividity – a condition when the blood drains to the bottom of the body after the heart stops.
Dead body takes at least three hours to show signs of lividity, a doctor at the News of the World said.
