Michael Jackson dead at 50

[DPyro]

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.

Rumours are he mas murdered...by a smooth criminal. I wonder if they'll bury him in a hyperbaric chamber.

jesus i thought this was a bad joke then my wife and daughter told me it was on the TV, maybe he was weird but in the 80s he was the worlds best singer by a long way.

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 .
