Rumors are now flooding in that the “King of Pop”, Michael Jackson, is dead. Earlier in the day Jackson had suffered from a serious cardiac arrest and was rushed to the Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Paramedics on the scene had given Michael CPR, but things looked bad from the start. Reports from family members said how Michael was in “really bad shape” and “not doing well.” And now TMZ and others are reporting that Michael Jackson is dead. It appears to now be official.

According to reports, Michael Jackson was without a pulse directly after the heart attack, and despite the best efforts of paramedics, was never able to regain it. He is survived by his three children.

First Farrah Fawcett and now Michael Jackson? A very sad day.
