Michael Jackson has passed away.
 
Quote:

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.

Oh Geez. This isn't good.

ToTheNines 06-25-2009 04:23 PM

:( I hope Mike's ok

Lordmylar06 06-25-2009 04:25 PM

Of all things a heart attack? Wow, things have been crazy today.

Spike Spiegel 06-25-2009 04:28 PM

I hope he recovers okay...things haven't been so good for him lately, eh?

XERO 06-25-2009 04:39 PM

I hope he recovers, too. Heart attacks suck big time because they can happen to anybody.

Peanut 06-25-2009 04:41 PM

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo!

The Stryker 06-25-2009 04:41 PM

Michael Jackson has died.

Peanut 06-25-2009 04:43 PM

This f*cking blows.

XERO 06-25-2009 04:46 PM

Dude, Stryker... please tell me you're not serious.

Raph's Girl 06-25-2009 04:47 PM

TMZ is reporting that he died. But there's no other reports saying it so it's just a rumour for now.

Brodie 06-25-2009 04:47 PM

I thought he wasn't, until he linked me to this:

Mecha Cow 06-25-2009 04:48 PM

He is reported to have died.

I am unsure what to think of him as a person, but it's not my place to judge. In any case it's sad to see a musical legend go. RIP Michael.

Change the name of the thread please.

Peanut 06-25-2009 04:50 PM

I heard it's being reported on TMZ.com. That's just what I heard somewhere.

XERO 06-25-2009 04:56 PM

I'm watching it on CNN right now. So far, they haven't mentioned him dying. Just being hospitalized with cardiac arrest.

Raph's Girl 06-25-2009 04:57 PM

My mom just called to tell me he died. She heard it on the radio. :/

DAMMIT!!

Ed McMahon, David Carradine, Farrah Fawcett...and now Michael Jackson?! This last week and a half has sucked.

Jester 06-25-2009 05:01 PM

Still not official, pre Fox News....but I know how some of you feel about that network.

CNN also still says he's just in the hospital.

ThirdMarioBro 06-25-2009 05:02 PM

Goddammit goddammit goddammit goddammit goddammit god-****ing-dammit. :(

This is ****ing ********. Greatest musician of all time. All-****ing time. Hell, I was just listening to the megamix in the car.

Yeah.. CNN hasn't announced it either.... But here's the reuters article:

Hannah 06-25-2009 05:06 PM

Oh, wow. I don't even know what to say.

XERO 06-25-2009 05:08 PM

I don't know what to say. I just don't.

Jester 06-25-2009 05:10 PM

Just pray that the reports of his death are greatly exaggerated.

Peanut 06-25-2009 05:10 PM

I was playing Moonwalker YESTERDAY!

Hopefully he's teaching God some moves already.

ThirdMarioBro 06-25-2009 05:13 PM

NBC News just sent it out to all the affiliates.

Just......goddammit.

I love that game.

I'm still trying to hold onto that last thread of hope that it's an exaggeration.

Jester 06-25-2009 05:16 PM

Gah, this is maddening...the LA Times says he's in a coma.
“Michael Jackson is in a coma and his family is arriving at his bedside, a law enforcement source told The Times.”

UPDATE...he's gone.
[Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.

I just hope he's actually still alive...:-?

What the f*ck? Someone needs to get this story straight, because I just heard he turned into a robot and flew away!

Jester 06-25-2009 05:19 PM

Sounds like he's gone...:(

I almost hope it's just conjecture.

XERO 06-25-2009 05:20 PM

The media just LOVES to f*ck with the fans, don't they?

The Stryker 06-25-2009 05:21 PM

This is insanity.

Jester 06-25-2009 05:21 PM

I'm not even a fan, but hearing about him and Farrah both got me.

Fox and CNN both have finally reported coma....so who knows.

ABC and NBC News says he's dead...

WHICH IS IT!!!?? Stop screwing with people.

Cipher 06-25-2009 05:24 PM

I have a feeling Japan's going to shut down today.

I hope he's not actually dead. It would suck to see him end on such a series of low notes.

Raph's Girl 06-25-2009 05:25 PM

L.A Times is now saying he died.... too many danged conflicting reports.

http://www.latimes.com/

CNN is now saying he died...or that they heard he died.

Jester 06-25-2009 05:26 PM

CNN says that The Times and CBs say he's gone, they have yet to confirm.

FOX is reporting that the Times and the AP are reporting he's died.

BubblyShell22 06-25-2009 05:32 PM

I heard on my local news that he died, but they didn't say anything about a coma. They said he had a heart attack. Well, they say bad things happen in threes, and this is totally true. We've lost Ed, Farrah, and now Michael. My condolences and thoughts go out to his family and friends. He will be missed greatly. He was an awesome performer.

Buslady 06-25-2009 05:35 PM

I'm pretty shocked. I liked him back in the early 80s

Raph's Girl 06-25-2009 05:35 PM

FOX news is saying he died 20 min ago
