Michael Jackson

I just received a CNN breaking news bulletin that Michael Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest?  I need to investigate further - but thought I'd let you all know about it.

There wasn't any information at CNN other than the announcement and so I checked out Fox and here's a link to the story:

I went to tell my hubby who is watching the news, to listen about Michael Jackson! He said he just heard on the news that he died? Seriously, did anyone else here this? Cause I know hubby sometimes distorts what he hears or thinks he hears. So, did anyone else hear?

A few minor media outlets are reporting that he has died.

Given the report that they performed CPR on him in the ambulance, survival does not sound likely.

I just heard on NBC (local-Charlotte county) that he just died, but they said they had not confirmed it and will of course keep us updated.

I just heard on our local news that they have heard from several sources that he has died.  I hope he can now rest and be at peace.  I believe he's been a tortured soul.

And, Ed McMahon the other day.  WOW!  Yes, 50!  So damn young - but he had such a tragic life.  So sad that Farrah and Michael died so young!

He was 51. I just heard he died of cardiac arrest. Wild. What a day. First Farrah Fawcett not Michael Jackson.

What would cause such a young man to die of cardiac arrest? Did he ever have heart problems before that anyone knows of? It just seems so sudden.

Just shows we never know how long we have on this earth and how precious life is. Pretty sobering thought.

Correction - sorry, he was 50. This is such a shock. I didn't think he had any health issues. How does someone that young die from a cardiac arrest?

Black males have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and so tend to develop heart problems earlier than whites.

Eat right, exercise, don't smoke, and get your heart checked!

He has been working with Lou Ferrigno? (incredible Hulk), doing two workouts a day! Said he had been checked out medically and all was fine? This is crazy! I got adrenalin pumping big time!

I am so surprise by this! saddened too! I had Billie Jean set as my ring tone, I'll have to keep it on in honor of his music and legacy...!!

I was always told that death comes in three's....3 celebrities this week, but I never would have imagined that the third would be Micheal Jackson! I am so shocked, and bummed. Despite some of the stranger things that went on in his life, no one can forget Thiller and the moon walk, and his talent.

Yes a very sad day.  Farrah, we knew her death was eminent, but MJ's passing is shocking.

Wonder what will happen to his poor children.

I'd heard that he had Lupus and perhaps it affected his heart.

no one ever knows for sure what causes people to die.  Hypertension/high blood pressure is very common in african americans.  If that was the case then a heart attack was a blessing in diguise.  I believe that no one will ever know the truth. We will only hear what they wat us to hear,

I heard it on the news too. They were commenting about how healthy he was just a while ago.  I'm really shocked. I'm not sure yet if I believe it or not. I need more information.
