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.

I could be making a lot of distasteful jokes right now, but thats not quite right I think so you'll just have to imagine them.

huh i'd just been reading on some news site that he'd had a cardiac arrest - but it didn't mention he'd died

 

obviously they haven't updated their site

 

i kinda feel like doing the Thriller dance now

Like I said on the bethsoft thread:

 

He's not dead, he's simply returning to neverland.

Heard this on the radio ten minutes ago.

Dead? Or in a coma? CBC article

 

Pop star Michael Jackson is in a coma after being rushed by ambulance to a Los Angeles-area hospital Thursday afternoon after suffering from cardiac arrest, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times.

 

CNN says was in coma, is now dead, but haven't confirmed reports yet.

Isn't CNN the news we don't trust? Or was that FOX?

You are probably think of Fox. CNN has been updated to say that LA Times and the AP have both said he's dead.

copy of a post i made at NMA a minute ago:

 

without getting into the bull**** that was his later life, Thriller & Bad were a huge part of my childhood and i've got mad respect for what he did up until his creepy **** started.

 

RIP

 

He even had a concert here in Tallinn

Oh, wow, this is sad news.

 

I remember when my Dad first got me a Michael Jackson album way back in the 80s. I listened to Beat It for hours and grew to love his other songs. I haven't followed him seriously in years, but I'll always remember growing up to his music as a kid and trying to do the moonwalk.

 

Rest In Peace Michael.

Went from black male to asian transsexual, some really poor choices in plastic surgeons.

Can't say I'll miss his persona...but the nostalgic memories of growing up with Thriller (as well as his earlier stuff) makes me miss that talent. I think I'll listen to Thriller right now, in fact. heh

Great entertainer in his prime. Dissapointing human being.

To be honest it's hard for me to care, considering odds are we was a child molester. Interesting how everyone is overlooking that fact. I simply see it as karma getting its due on him. No one settles out of court on those kind of charges unless there is something to them. See catholic church for a prime example. Yes he had a great pop rock influence in the 80s and until the mid 90s but he been irrelevant music wise for the past decade. I find it odd people are tripping over themselves on his death as if he still had any musical clout in recent memory.

I'm not sure how having a heart attack is karmic payback for child molestation.

 

 

Anyway, I'll listen to thriller today in his weirdass memory.

 

Also, apparently they don't die in threes.

I'm fairly convinced he was guilty too, but that is a rather harsh statement.. or are you just jumping to conclusions to empower an arguement?

I'll always remember what I was doing when Michael Jackson died: not giving a ****.

RIP MJ. You gave me a memorable childhood which otherwise wouldn't had been.

Dying was really all he had left to do sadly.

Rest in peace Michael.

Atleast he can still perform "Thriller"

 

The very same album was good, but I don't care much for rest that was released. Nor do I care much about his pedophile charges. Sucks for his family though, as with anyone with a loss of a close family member.

I'm not sure how having a heart attack is karmic payback for child molestation.

 

I thought it was pretty obvious from the view of the philosophy of western karma.

'harsh' or being honest? Why tip toe around the topic? He was a vile man who molested children and IMO got what he deserved. If this guy was some average guy who lived down the street from you all the facts the same except we wasn't a singer/celebrity there would be a lynch mob after him and most everyone would be dancing on his grave. But he had some hits in the 80s and only because of that some of you are blinded by that. Its sick and some of you should be disgusted with yourself for celebrating the life of a CHILD MOLESTER.

 

Unreal how celebrities blind some people. I liked some of his songs in the 80s as well does not make him a good person.

...or the guy simply was never mentally fit to become old. Maybe he stayed at the mental age of 8 for the rest of his life. None of his children is biologically his.

 

I bet that he wasn't even interested in any form of sexuality to begin, because that was icky grown-up stuff.

 

I also bet that he died as a virgin.

All of his craziness aside, his music was a big part of my childhood. RIP
