Michael Jackson dead at 50

The singer, song-writer and entertainer Michael Jackson has passed away, apparently from a heart attack. Paramedics were called to his house early this evening, and had to perform CPR. He was taken to the UCLA medical center where he was pronounced dead.

He died of a cardiac arrest, and arrived at the hospital in a deep coma. He was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.

There was some confusion over his death, with some US media outlets releasing his death before it had been officially been confirmed.

There is a feeling of shock, and surprise rippling through the gathered crowed outside the Hospital, with many people refusing to beleive the news.  In an interesting twist, one of the doctors is already releasing his story to TMZ.com, where sky news and others seem to be gathering the report.

It is a loss to the Music industry, his music and his dancing have, of course, gone down in history. Uri Geller, a close personal friend of Michael Jackson, speaking on sky news says that he, like the rest of the world, does not want to belive it, and is waiting for confirmation from Michaels Family, or a doctor.

His death will join those list of ledgendary stars with this surprise death. Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Maralyn Monroe, and now Micheal Jackson.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Family, his friends.
