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.

We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.

La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Story developing...

I assume this is serious... although it is a loss musically, I'm not sure how I feel about him as a person.

Strange, He died of a symptom of death. He died because his heart stopped, or his heart stopped because he died? Easy way out for the ME anyway, and typical reporting accuracy.

Condolences to the survivors anyway.

David Carradine (6/3/09), Ed McMahon (6/23/09), Farah Fawcett (6/25/09), and Michael Jackson (6/25/09). There's your "three" plus one.

R.I.P. MJ

Billy Jean, PYT & Rock With You are still some of the best RnB tracks ever.

Hey MTV is going back to it's roots.. it's playing dare I say... MUSIC!

BTW MJ was the first black artist to have a video played on MTV also (Billy Jean)

I know it is traditional to say nice things about somebody when they die, but I honestly feel that has to be the greatest amount of talent p issed away in the history of music.
