Michael Jackson Dead at 50?

Postby Arzoobia » Thu Jun 25, 2009 2:53 pm

He was rushed to UCLA Medical Centre after suffering an apparent heart attack. There are reports that when paramedics found him, he had no pulse and never recovered one.

If this is true, I'm so sad. He's a personal icon of mine. I've had a poster of him on my wall for as long as I can remember, since I lived in India.

If he's dead then that sucks. Whatever else may have happened he made some amazing music.

I just heard, I was watching the news since we got some pretty bad floods and storms where I live in the United States. So of course they interrupted the radar for a moment to tell that Michael Jackson had no pulse and such and was being rushed to the hospital.

I hate to sound like a jackass, but my first reaction was "Now little boys don't have to be scared." He was an idol back in his time, but I think most people now are just going to remember him by the things he did wrong, which is sad in its own regard.

I agree. I don't care, what you think of him, or anyone else, it's never "about time"

Michael Jackson is taken to hospital, the BBC confirmed this. I cannot say whether he is dead yet, he might recover, so it is not an idea to jump to conclusions just yet. Keep an eye on reliable media sources, as always.

Pop star Michael Jackson has been rushed to hospital in Los Angeles with suspected cardiac arrest. The BBC has yet to confirm the outcome of the treatment. My headphones are currently tuned to BBC News 24.

There's still Catholic priests.

This in no way imputes the character of the majority of Catholics. I'm making a joke here people. Damn!
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.

The guy was a joke for a couple of decades now, but he made some good music back when I was younger.

Other papers like the National Post report that he's dead.

Anyone have a link to a news source that says he's actually dead? So far all I've seen on sites like CNN is that he was hospitalized and that paramedics had to perform CPR and that he's in the hospital. Sorry, but I can't really take TMZ as a credible source, y'know? :p And so far any source saying he's dead is saying they got it from TMZ.

I just got this voice activated radio installed in my car. It's pretty nifty. I say "Led Zeppelin" and Led Zeppelin comes on. I say "Beatles" and the Beatles come on. A few days ago, I was driving by a playground, and one of the kids ran right in front of my car with his ball. As I slammed on the breaks I screamed "fucking kids" and a Michael Jackson song came on.

Most official sources report him as being in hospital, and not dead. All those claiming he is are unofficial sources.
