LONDON - Shocking details of Michael Jackson's alleged autopsy report published in a British newspaper were "not accurate," according to celebrity Web site TMZ.

"The report that is being published did not come from this office," TMZ reported the L.A. County Coroner's office as saying. "It is not accurate. Some of it is totally false."

The British newspaper The Sun reported that the singer weighed only 112 pounds and his stomach was empty except for partially dissolved pills.

According to the newspaper, the leaked autopsy report also found that Jackson's "hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with needle wounds -- believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years."

The newspaper also says the report found that the singer lost most of his hair. And he had numerous other scars, apparently from plastic surgery.

Jackson also had suffered several broken ribs, which could be the results of medics attempts to resuscitate the singer, the newspaper stated.

The New York Post reported that these leaked details are from the first official autopsy report (the family had planned a second autopsy this past weekend). The Sun did not say how it came by the information.

Also Edward Chernoff, a lawyer for Dr. Conrad Murray, who was Jackson's doctor and found him unconscious), said Murray never prescribed or gave Jackson the painkillers Demerol or OxyContin.

"Dr. Murray has never prescribed nor administered Demerol to Michael Jackson," Chernoff said. "Not ever. Not that day. Not OxyContin for that matter."

SkyNews also has a report detailing The Sun's report:
