Michael Jackson dead?

Pop star Michael Jackson has died after suffering a heart attack, it has been reported.

Media reports have said the star, 50, was taken to hospital in Los Angeles after he was found not breathing in his Holmby Hills home earlier.

Celebrity website TMZ said 911 operators received an emergency call about 12.12pm local time (8.12pm AEST).

Jackson is believed to have gone into cardiac arrest and paramedics performed CPR on him en route to UCLA hospital.

The website quoted family members as saying the Thriller singer was in "really bad shape."

"We just got off the phone with Joe Jackson, Michael's dad, who says 'he is not doing well.'' the website reported.

Jackson was reportedly planning a comeback and was living in Los Angeles while rehearsing a series of 50 sold-out shows in London, the LATimes has reported.

is he actually dead? my mom was just telling me about him going to the hospital like 15 mins ago

I don't see it on any other websites, but if this is true, holy crap I didn't see that one coming.

According to MSNBC & CNN, it has not been confirmed that he died.

Dang, the king of pop is dead, who will care?

.....................................................SURREEEEEEAAAAL

it's on CNN right now and he's only in the hospital....not dead

I'm going to feel like a douche for finding this funny, but I sort of hope that they play Smooth Criminal at his funeral (if he died).

"You've been hit by,

you've been struck by,

a smoooooth criminal!"

(dun dun dun dun dun duna da)

I wouldn't have thought heart attack would have been the way he went.

On a serious note, too bad. Despite his lifestyle, he was a talented artist.

O.O when i think of the old sparda this doesnt compare... at all xD

thats crazy..

Yeah, I'm a little bit stranger now.But on a more serious note, I hope he doesn't die. Despite how much he got razzed on and his personal life, I found some of his music to be highly entertaining (such as Smooth Criminal. Damn that song is good). "

I have no idea what to think about this...

i don't get why cnn would be talking about it if he wasn't dead.
