Michael Jackson Dead At 50

[No Limit]

Just reported on TV. Died of a heart attack. I wonder if drugs were involved.

Crazy shit.

We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

Apparently it was cardiac arrest. RIP.

Was a big fan of his early work.

 

[Barnz]

really

 

[lefty]

...Dead tired of molesting little boys?

right?

 

[Insano]

Damn.

 

[Eejit]

I guess his heart just couldn't cope. All that blood and he couldn't beat it.

 

[Shakermaker]

TMZ has declared him dead.

There are rumours he killed himself.

EDIT No Limit beat me to it. Oh the puns ...

 

[Warped]

watch all these kids come forth and explain what he did with them. i used to like his music, but lately the only think I liked was the Thriller music video

 

[Harryz]

They're putting up police tape/barrier around the hospital, so I would say its pretty much comfirmed hes dead or hes seriously ill.

 

[Shakermaker]

BBC has a live stream up.

 

[Barnz]

They're showing tmz.com on BBC World right now.

Well... the madness is over. But then he's been dead as a performer, artist and just in appearance for so long that it kind of loses its meaning.

Playing Thriller nonetheless. The guy was probably the most important popular solo artist ever. Incomparable.

Elvis was the king, MJ a mere prince.

[Lucid]

Bullshit, that's the only site that says he's dead.

 

[Shakermaker]

Even Uri Geller can't confirm it. Use yer psychic powers man!

 

[Dumb Dude]

Yeah, people seem to be jumping the gun here. So far, on more reliable sites, no one knows for sure how he is doing.

 

[kupocake]

Elvis was the king, MJ a mere prince.

Elvis came to mind certainly when posting that, and there's definitely something Elvis-like about MJ dying in obscurity, a shadow of his former self...

edit: so will people deny he's dead and will impersonation become a big thing? I'd rather he stay alive if that's the case...

 

[NeptuneUK]

He may be alive, but we don't really know.


I hope he went like a rockstar rather than a faggy suicide or heart failure without drugs.
I'm sure he's faking his own death for tax purposes!


edit: Breaking news! Coma!

I knew before I even got here that HL2.net would have the "is dead" in the title even though it's unconfirmed. Typical.

 

[Shakermaker]

LA Times reports he's (kept?) in a coma and his family is arriving at his bedside.

Elvis came to mind certainly when posting that, and there's definitely something Elvis-like about MJ dying in obscurity, a shadow of his former self...

Agreed. Popstars almost never age well.

 

[xcellerate]

According to CNN, 1 minute ago, "Paramedics revived Jackson before taking him to the hospital."

So I guess he isn't dead...yet.

 

[Dumb Dude]

Seems he is in a coma. Just said on CNN.

Bah, beat by Shakermaker.

 

[Shakermaker]

He has been declared dead 7 minutes ago.

EDIT LA Times 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.

 

[StardogChampion]

Sky News just said it's confirmed by the LA Times from city and law enforcement there.

 

[Lucid]

Man, he's as good as dead now.
This is a shocker.

I mean, sure he hasn't made any great music in years and he's essentially made a fool of himself but it's still incredibly sad.

 

[PimpinPenguin]

Saw it confirmed on BBC that his died

 

[Eejit]

Poor kid.

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

I just saw it on the news, first they said he was dead, now they say he's in a coma. I'm not sure.

 

[Harryz]

Apparently TMZ.com are quite reliable for celebrity news according to Sky News and BBC.

 

[Ravioli]

Some news says hes dead, some news says no one knows, some says he is revived but in coma.

 

[Stigmata]

Do you think Thriller will be his funeral song?

 

[Shakermaker]

Apparently TMZ.com are quite reliable for celebrity news according to Sky News and BBC.

Yup, they are. Plus they usually back their stories up by actual proof in the form of documents, pics or videos.

Some news says hes dead, some news says no one knows, some says he is revived but in coma.

He's dead. Believe.

 

[PimpinPenguin]

Damn, i just remembered i was given a ticket for one of Jacksons shows at the O2. Don't you dare die on me, it's says " no refunds"

lol, enter the conspiracy theories. The comeback shows were all a big ploy to make a lot of money. Now he has faked his death and moved to some South American country. The first sighting will probably be reported in 3 months.

 

[Eejit]

He's probably off sipping pina coladas on some beach in Argentina with Hitler and Elvis already.

And Tupac.

They were unconfirmed until it was confirmed he popped it.

Meh.

 

[Diesel_Power]

cnn.com is reporting that multiple sources are saying he's dead.

 

[ríomhaire]

Bloody hell. I just got text about this. Turned on the news, nothing. Googled, nothing. Went on here.

One of my friends has tickets to go to his last concert. RIP.
