Michael Jackson Suffers Cardiac Arrest
Jackson Was Not Breathing When Authorities Arrived, LA Times Says

POSTED: Thursday, June 25, 2009
UPDATED: 5:34 pm EDT June 25, 2009

Michael Jackson was rushed to a hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived.

The parademics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told The Times.

The news comes as the Jackson was expected to kick off a series of shows in London.

Jackson, 50, hasn't released a studio album since 2001, and his turns in the spotlight have mostly focused on his personal troubles.

Jackson was arrested in 2003 on child-molestation charges and acquitted in 2005 after a trial in California.

Holy God! What's happening today???

Everyone saying uncomfirmed, but it's the blazing headline on all the sites. Even Mark Levin is discussing it right now (as well as Farrah)......

Damn . . . I hope The Beatles/Apple Corps Ltd. can now get back (pun intended) their music catalog after Jacko literally stole it out from under them.

Liked a lot of his music, though.

Bet Liz Taylor will be joining him soon.
