In Memoriam: Michael Jackson (1958-2009)
someone just told me they saw on a FOX news report that he was in cadiac arrest and they have no further details.
Anyone confirm?
**edit**
apparently reported by tmz, so not sure how reliable...

despite his "off-kilter" lifestyle, i love him as an artist and would be really sad if true.

We've just learned Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles ... and we're told it was cardiac arrest and that paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance.
He was picked up at his home around 20 minutes ago -- we're told his mother is on the way to visit him.
UPDATE: The 911 call came in at 12:21PM at his Holmby Hills home in L.A.
UPDATE: A Jackson family member tells TMZ Michael is in "really bad shape" and the brothers are headed to UCLA

Despite TMZ being a gossip type zine, they are pretty reliable.
New update says his father is saying it isnt looking good for him.
Has he done any of those shows in the UK yet?
I would also like to say that despite most thinking he is off his rocker, the guy is an incredible artist.I have been a fan of his since Thriller.

UPDATE: We just got off the phone with Joe Jackson, Michael's dad, who says "he is not doing well."

I'm hearing he's been dead for the last 30 min and they just can't report it yet.
Either way, crazy stuff.

i am truly at a loss.
In what appears to be an apparent suicide, musician Michael Jackson was pronounced dead as a result of cardiac arrest after consuming more than two-dozen sleeping pills.
Complete details are not yet available, as this story is still developing.

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

Might be legal reasons?
Reports saying staff member called 911

It seems likely to me that TMZ is right on this.
Here's what the LA times has right now. I'm guessing they are waiting until more of the family gets there to say anything more.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...teve-ruda.html
Updated at 2:46 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson is in a coma and his family is arriving at his bedside, a law enforcement source told The Times.
Jackson was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center this afternoon by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.
Fire Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home at 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and took him to the hospital, Ruda told The Times.

Wolf on CNN has just updated by saying "he is in a coma".
