TMZ: Michael Jackson Dead
June 25th, 2009, 5:53 PM EDT
TMZ reports:
We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
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.
UPDATE: As of 5:58 p.m. ET, no other news outlets have been able to confirm the TMZ report.
UPDATE 2: The Los Angeles Times reports that as of 5:46 p.m. ET, Jackson had fallen into a coma.
UPDATE 3: At 6:15 p.m. ET, the Times reports that Jackson is dead.
Funny how TMZ, Fox News and Drudge are the only ones saying he is dead. Wishful thinking on the right wing there maybe??

I’m confused too, Jake… CNN, FOX, MSNBC are still only reporting the cardiac arrest.
This is so sad. My mom called me about it. I could tell she wanted to cry.
Bummer

Fox News is not yet saying that he’s dead, and Drudge is just citing the TMZ story.

Oh well, Iran, that’s the end of ANY American interest.

LOL, Old Left.
Just chill, man. :-)
Let our nation mourn for Michael. He’s had his drama over the last decade or so, but he’s such a part of our culture…

True – never liked the guy. I guess this leaves Rush Limbaugh as America’s highest profile child molester.
June 25th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
CBS, NBC, ABC and the LA Times are now reporting he is dead.
June 25th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
He is dead according to MSNBC. 2nd high profile person to die today.

There will be a bunch of cretins who are going to spout a lot of garbage, because, for them, the world is a mirror, and they lack even a speck of christian charity.

You can hate the man 24/7 and being a pedophile was never proven. He struggle,so has every1 else in life.
Yes the man died,but despite his short comings,the man is a POP ICON and he will looked upon highly in AMERICAN HISTORY and POP CULTURE as a AMERICAN and WORLDWIDE LEGEND.

You can love him or hate him or be someone indifferent. The man will go down as legend.
Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13 year old and Elvis married a underage girl as well. Chuck Berry allowed a underage girl to turn tricks at his club in St Louis. The Stones and Beatles did drugs 24/7 and some members like the same sex at 1 point. Some members denouce God.
James Brown was a abuser and abused drugs. Dylan has been a prick most of time. That is my overall point.
Every1 of those artist and musical groups struggle and some have died just like Michael Jackson and he is a legend even thou you dislike the man for his short comings,but other greats had short comings as well.

Toss law makers,actors,sports,CEO,s and music stars into the mix Potfry and we will come up a tanglement of lies and vile. Plus preachers.
I understand the man might be a molester. I am saying all these folks we look upon as heros and so forth are failures on something from being unfaithfull to using drugs.
The news is filled with struggles of high profile people all the time. Some will be view differently as well. Clinton and Jackson. Sosa and SC governer.
