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.

I just saw them say that he's currently in a coma on Fox News.

EDIT: Nevermind, he passed away. :(

Yup, he's dead... I guess now there are going to be no new Michael Jackson jokes.

I will miss that more than Michael Jackson himself, especially how movies parodized him because some were funny.

But now I will shush, because all joking aside the dead should be respected .

He was a great music artist, that advanced the music video genre, however he threw it all way, the man deserves no respect.

Uncalled for, even if he was portrayed by the media as some kind've freak of a person...

Have respect.

Who knows man. I know a lot of people who are laughing this off, all because of what he "did". They don't even know half the story themselves.

Idiots.

Thsi might sound odd and weird,, but I think he faked his death and his family acted the whole thing so everyone thinks he's gone, so his managers will tell the people that bought tickets to still come to the place "to pay tribute to him" then Michael will suprise everyone by reappearing and everyone will be shocked!And the show will go on!LMFAO!![/I]

I seriously doubt that happen, it would be a sick thing to do. I'm sure a load of die hard fans will commit suicide over his death. sad

There is a probable possibility, because some people do things like that. If entering the correct search results on Google there are a few stories, not of Michael Jackson fans but fans of other people who commit suicide.

On a strange but funny note, there are hundreds of Michael Jackson tickets for his UK tour on eBay. There is going to be lots of negative feedback being given to those who don't want to pay for their tickets and a lot of angry people who spent possibly £100>£400+ on tickets to sell which now they have to hold until the ticket booking agency refunds them (minusing their hoped profits).

Though I have seen that even today people are bidding on them, maybe they are collectables for those willing to purchase them?

Apparently his heart attack was brought on by him tripping over a pram. The mother has insited that they don't blame it on the buggie.
