Late King of Pop Michael Jackson could be brought back from the dead through 3D scans he had made of his body 13 years back in a bid to build a robot twin.

Scientists say that the eerie images, which came to light after the owner tried to sell them for 1million pounds, could be used to bring him back in music videos, computer games and even movies.

The owner of the scans, an American businessman who wants to remain anonymous, said Jackson had posed for the scans in 1996.

“The data has been in our archives and vault since then,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

“The thing about this data is it immortalised him at the age of 37, before his nose was disfigured and when he was in the prime of life,” he added.
