We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.

La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Story developing...

Yeah.....
SO unexpected, that I actually thought it was just another hoax.
When I saw that it was TMZ, who was reporting it, I had a bad feeling, that it was probably true.

VERY SAD! :cry:

R.I.P. MJ!

That's so sad to hear! May he rest in peace.

I also heard that Farrah Fawcett has passed away as well.

This is really shocking and sad. I heard it around 5pm on the radio that TMZ was the only site reporting it and that it was developing. (I guess this is our 3rd in celebrity deaths- Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, and Farrah Fawcett.)

Michael Jackson was good in his day. And honestly, I think the fame is what drove him to the craziness we all knew him as for the past 15-20 years. Being in the spotlight your whole life has an effect on you. That is why MJ didn't let his kids' faces be seen. He didn't want them to go through what he went through. I wonder what will happen to his kids now. I bet we'll be hearing more about them now.

Many child stars turn out wild or crazy. And it's all because of the fame. It's just one of the prices people pay for being famous. Humanity loves to see the high and mighty fall. Which is why those trashy tabloid magazines sell so well.

Who really knows if MJ is a pedophile or whatever? Know one but the 2 kids that claim he molested them. I think deep down, Michael Jackson was a good hearted person. We all know he loved kids, but did he really love them to much? Maybe those boys that cried rape were set up to by their parents for money. A rich man who loves kids is the perfect victim for money hungry people to prey on. I was shocked and believe it or not, sad to hear the man is dead.

Rest In Piece Michael.

I agree with everything you said Joseppi . I may be one of the few people that believe he is probably innocent of those allegations - it is very unfortunate that there are people out there who will do just about anything to make a buck . The people that may get hurt in the process aren't what matters to them - the money and publicity do.
I think the fact that he endured a pretty disturbing childhood played a major role in how he acted as an adult - he never really got to be a kid .

I am saddened by MJ's death. I hope people will remember him for the positive aspects of his life instead of the negative.The world lost the king of pop today and he will never be forgotten. :cry:

I heard that he received a shot of Demerol after his rehearsal and he OD'ed on it.

Yeah, apparently they're after his Doctor now. But he took off. Someone looks guilty.

The worst thing the doctor could have done was take off. They even impounded his car for evidence.
