A judge ruled that the two images, which were taken at the late singer's autopsy, can be used by prosecutors as evidence in the involuntary manslaughter trial of his doctor Conrad Murray.
According to TMZ, one of the images shows Jackson fully clothed and laid out on a gurney, while the other shows his naked body. The judge said that "certain parts" will be "blocked out" when the pictures are presented in court.
He insisted that the photos are relevant to the case and are "not gruesome, graphic or inflammatory".
Earlier this month, Murray's defence attorney Edward Chernoff described Jackson as a "desperate man" and claimed that he was so worried over his financial situation that he committed suicide.
Murray has always maintained that he is "an innocent man", but he could serve up to four years in prison if found guilty.
