UPDATED: Michael Jackson Dead at 50
UPDATED: TMZ reports that Jackson is dead.
PREVIOUSLY: KTLA News is reporting that two hours ago, Michael Jackson was taken to UCLA Medical Hospital after a 911 call indicated that he was not breathing and had suffered cardiac arrest. More information to come, but for now, the full news story after the jump:
LOS ANGELES -- Pop star Michael Jackson has been taken to UCLA Medical Center by ambulance suffering from cardiac arrest, fire officials confirm.
Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a 911 call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda says.
It's unclear what he was being treated for or what his current condition may be.

Strange to us is the daily awareness of our own coming death.
It is better to be prepared for it. Jews, Christians, and Muslims are refraining the same allover the world:
THERE WILL BE JUDGMENT DAY, AND ONLY OUR GOOD DEEDS WILL KEEP US FROM ETERNAL PURGATORIUM [purgatory]. No money, no fame, only our deeds, and those deeds of our children and followers.
Atheists don't care about such issues, although there is abundant evidence for the correctness of the awaiting of our resurrection.
I liked Michael Jackson's music, sometimes tried to dance like he did, but I hope he recognized his falsity before passing away. That and God's mercy alone can save him, and make him one of the dwellers of paradise:
HE CAN SING THERE "I was bad.. "
God save michael you are great artist. Sadness of Brasil...
Well aren't you rude. Karma on you for saying such a horrible comment.
And it's quite a shame, first David Carradine and now Michael. Rest in peace you legends of fame.
CNN and other news sorces have not confirmed this.... he was revived on the way to the hospital and his condition is unkown
oh comeon..!!! according to cnn he is still in coma.. updated a minute ago..!!! not in any US news i can find him dead..!!!
Hey this looks like the case of irresponsible reporting I have seen in a while. Look at MSN and Yahoo headlines “Michael Jackson Hospitalized.” This article has him dead and they are essentially running the same story as everyone else. There is however one major exception and that is read the last line of the article, “It’s unclear what he was being treated for or what his current condition may be.”
I would say that the writer is after HEADLINES how about some accurate reporting…In any event my prayers go with Michael and his family..
IMPOSTOR OR NOT:
I'd need the business contact to Stella McCartney in person.
Who read my first comment from before will see that our life is about doing good work.
She does, too.
And that in business.
Please send me her email
Sorry, no sadness here. He had musical talent but no morals and bought his way out of more than one child molestation case. One less pedophile to worry about.
I will alway remember as a kid growing up in the 70's seeing the adults dancing to his music. Those were the good old days boy!
If TMZ says he's dead, he's dead.
Someone get ATM his own reality show.
Musically he was a genius... but there was something really wrong with him for a lot of years. You can't tell me he didn't have plastic surgery, or that he had some weird skin disorder that turned him completely white. I guess it affected his kids too.
Umm, the LA Times confirmed it.
Yes. Fame killed him. He was weird, yes, but how could you not be weird when you're thrown into the public spotlight from a young age? God bless him, he's in a better place. He just couldn't last. He was one of the greatest, perhaps the greatest.
I don't know that there was "drama" in that statement, but I guess read into it what you will. I simply meant that here is a person who has clearly not been able to handle the pressures of fame (as many, many people are) for a very long time. And, "we" as a society, have some culpability there. By all accounts he had an overbearing father who was not afraid to exploit his children for monetary purposes. Insatiable media scrutiny beginning at an incredibly young age. Sad. There's certainly something to said for anonymity, huh? RIP Michael.
was about time wasnt it?..
i mean this guy was out years ago.. now a new album and a tour..
what could be a better end??
and by the way... a sick bastard with more than enough money to treat an african country not doing anything but singing about the problems... and earning even more money in the process... .... ... (dont think about it, could ruin your worldview)
greetings from .de
the pop legend is died, may is soul rest in perfect peace.
I am surprised with this very bad news. But what I can say is that The King of Pop is dead and he left a huge legacy. I have his first hits like Thriller or Beat it. It is a sad day indeed. Rest in Peace Michael and thank you very much for those special moments thank to your fantastic music.
THE UNIT! THE KING! WE NEVER FORGET THE GOOD MUSIC, DANCE AND SHOWS
My heart goes out to the Jackson family & his kids. His music will live on forever.
death is completion of life, but he lives on
What of u, can u be remembered
which kids? very very sad anyways.
He use to be a great entertainer. But in his latter years, he lost his way. He became unstable person in his latter years. Noone should ever think it's alright to sleep in the same bed with youg boy's, he went mental somewhere in his life. I hope God has mercy on his soul,if it,s already not too late.
Oh My God!!!...He has gone too soon!!!
In Carradine's case it was highly disturbing that Thai police was willing to cover up a homicide as suicide. I won't travel there. That made me also reconsider ever going to other countries which have the same corrupt police structure.
It needed money, a famous forensic, and publicity to get the Thai responsibles moving.
That frightens more than the risk to get killed anywhere and under all circumstances, because the police becomes an associate to the criminal.
