Pop superstar Michael Jackson dead at 50

Michael Jackson was pronounced dead this afternoon, the Los Angeles Times reported. The pop star arrived at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told the Times.



Jackson was rushed to a hospital in Los Angeles after he suffered a heart attack. Paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance, according to TMZ.


TMZ reported that the call to 9-1-1 came in about 12:21 p.m. P.S.T. (3:21 p.m. Eastern) from Jackson's home in Los Angeles.


Capt. Steve Ruda of the Los Angeles Fire Department said Jackson was not breathing when paramedics arrived, the Los Angeles Times reported. The singer was taken to UCLA Medical Center.

Yet after selling more than 61 million albums in the US and having a decade-long attraction open at Disney theme parks, the ``King of Pop'' died Thursday at age 50 reportedly awash in about $400 million in debt, on the cusp of a final comeback after well over a decade of scandal.

Michael Jackson died at the UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.

``It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known,'' his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.

May he rest in Peace.

Yes This Really Sad News :)

Michael Jackson's death has made me so sad. I am a very good dancer and I owe it to Michael Jackson. Since I was 5 years old, I used to watch his videos and imitate his steps. The first song of his that I got addicted to was "Somebody's watching me."
