The site said when paramedics arrived the 50-year-old had no pulse and they never got a pulse back. A source added Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.
Update: LA Times now reporting Jackson is dead, attributed to city and law enforcement sources.
Update: NBC News now confirms Jackson death.

nothing but a bunch of lies…
your reports are false and lies.
CNN and multiple sources say he’s in a Coma.. nice try idiots.
I was just listening to him today. Was hoping his tour would come to Atlanta. My prayers go out to his family.
If this is so…. then it is a sad moment. Considering all of the drama the man went through over the years to the point he left the U.S. May he rest in peace if so is true
Reference to Russ:
what do you think cardiac arrest does to you when you go into a coma you die or you are a vegetable i.e. you dead!
I’m sadden to learn that Michael is dead. I am heart broken by the thought of his children losing their dad
Yea, he’s dead… who’s the idiot now?

Michael Jackson was a LEGEND!!! May he rest in peace!!!
A brilliant legend remembered always. Just as Martin Luther King Jr. and Obama. My future children will know Michael Jackson. :{
I heard when they found him, the UCLA medical corner said he had been dead for 18 to 20 YEARS!

lol @ Russ….
Do you see the updates Russ? If you think they were a bit premature in reporting the news, did you consider how premature your response might be?
No matter what persons have said about Michael Jackson, I love, and will always love his music.We must all keep in mind that he was a “troubled”person.My heart goes out to all his friends and family, and the fans such as myself.
uhh. . . I wouldn’t exactly call him the GREATEST pop legend of all time . . . maybe the MOST FAMOUS but not the GREATEST but anyways its still sad I feel bad for his family
Did you really put Obama in the same realm as Martin Luther King JR and Michael Jackson? He’s a politician. Politicians take, take, take — artists and holy men give, teach and build us up!
Obama is treating you like a science experiment – he doesn’t care about you.
full video of him being picked up at his home and him arriving at the hospital over at jjpeg.com/watch28013.html — and download his albums over at jjpeg.com/file2018451.html if you wanna remember his great music.. you have to do a questionnaire to get into the site for some reason but it works so whatever.. what a crazy day. RIP Mikey
WE ALL HAVE OUR APPOINTED TIME TO DIE, ALL I SAY IS GOD REST YOUR SOUL MR JACKSON. ALSO FOR FARRAH AND MCMAHON. THEY HAVE SEVERAL HUMANS THIS WEEK.

Oh God,please what ever sin Michael, forgive him and accept his soul,he made me happy with every song that came out of his mouth.I love him and wish that his soul and the souls of the faithful departed REST IN Peace.AMEN
My deepest condolences to the Jackson family. My prayers are with you.
Words can’t display how we feel! As you said… here one day… gone the next… Your music will live on and hearts go out to you and your family…
MJ will live on forever through his music and videos. A tribute to his life: tinyurl.com/MichaelJacksonPortal never forget!
It is very sad, Michael Jackson reached out to many generations for the past 40yrs is was, is and will always be the greatest!!!!!!
Michael Jackson is my favorite pop artist ever since I was a child. He is truly the King of Pop and I am saddened by this news.
I write this, 7 months after Michael’s death and the pain is still the same as it was when my mother woke me up on the 26th June 2009 to tell me my hero had died. I love you MJ, I miss you so much and I pray that I’ll see you on the other side.
