We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

My heart is heavy. But it's almost a fitting end to a real life legend. Rarely do we get to see larger-than-life figures age as normal people do. Elvis, John Lennon, Sam Cooke, now Mike. Mike was HUGER than huge! Can you imagine him an old man walking on a cane?

Sorry, but he had to go before it was too late, I just hope that it wasn't self-induced.

Irma, I hear you. And now they can't locate his doctor, who was there when this happened as indicated by the 911 call. Something's amiss here. And no...people have no shame and it's sad.

I know that we are really tired of the media and the inquiries, but MJ was young. I need to know what the cause of his death was due to for closure and so does his family ( I would imagine). An otherwise healthy young man has died suddenly and unexpectedly. If only the media had been this inquisitive when Pres. Bush was making the case to go into Iraq it would have been better appreciated.

"Michael Jackson's Missing Doctor ID'd'
The doctor who was with Michael Jackson at the time of his death has been identified as a cardiologist from Houston, Texas. KHOU in Houston reports the man is Dr. Conrad Robert Murray, who had been living with Jackson in his rented mansion. We're told Murray attempted to revive Michael until paramedics showed up at the scene.

I am in a state of shock!!!!!!!But, as if throwing salt into this 'wound' the mass media is now talking about did he have this cardiac arrest (which is not a heart attack they made sure to stress the difference in) due to abuse of drugs....Do these people have no shame??!!!!!?
