Michael Jackson rushed to hospital
2:06 PM | June 25, 2009

Pop star Michael Jackson was rushed to a hospital this afternoon by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.

Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The parademics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told The Times.

The news comes as Jackson was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.

In May, The Times reported that Jackson was living in a Bel-Air mansion and rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London's O2 Arena. Jackson had won the backing of two billionaires to get the so-called "King of Pop" back on stage.

His backers envision the shows at AEG's O2 as an audition for a career rebirth that could ultimately encompass a three-year world tour, a new album, movies, a Graceland-like museum, musical revues in Las Vegas and Macau, and even a "Thriller" casino. Such a rebound could wipe out Jackson's massive debt.

Michael Jackson Dies
Posted Jun 25th 2009 5:20PM by TMZ Staff

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.

LaToya 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.

TMZ is the only source reporting that he has died. CNN has made no mention of it.

No source has confirmed it and are all citing TMZ

Well, to their credit, TMZ is the one that broke the story. There is a lot of security at the hospital and a crowd is stating to gather outside.

Michael Jackson was a lonely person looking for someone to love him but never found that person. I think he was very depressed, in need of forgiveness and likely looked forward to being gone. His was not a life well lived.

WOW! Say what you want to about his personal life; but, as a musician, he was a genius. My favorites include: We Are The World, Beat It, Thriller, Billie Jean, & PYT. He is a legend. He will be missed. May God bless his family, his children, and his millions of fans world wide.

No doubt his music moved and inspired millions. I meant nothing bad about him, just wish he could have been a great singer as well as an inspiration with his life. I wish him well.

Both very well put and I agree.
I have often wondered why we put so much more into a celebrity's death over the average Joe. The reason is because of the many people these folks have entertained and touched(definately no pun intended). Still, a death is final, so RIP MJ.
