    Michael Jackson is dead

    Heart attack, rushed to UCLA Medical Center, and word just now that he's dead.

    Michael Jackson is dead

    My colleague at work only got a ticket for one of his gigs today.
    A bit sad this, but not entirely unsurprising.

      Any confirmation? Stories say he wasn't breathing at some point.

        It's all over Sky and BBC but all they have is the report from TMZ.

          TMZ says a source tells them that he was dead when paramedics arrived. I don't think TMZ would get out in front of a story unless they trusted their source--I don't think they would risk being wrong on something this big.

            They're usually pretty reliable, yeah.

              I guess we'll know soon.

                I had tickets to see him. My biggest concern is that its not his dying wish to be buried with the ticket money.

                Not much of a surprise though, he's been very very ill for a long time.

                  Oh I think TMZ would certainly do that. Think of the insane traffic they're getting as a result. TMZ is easily low enough to report a death when it's far from confirmed.

                    Was he? I didn't know he was having (internal) health problems.

                      I can't tell you much about it, but one of the guys I'm going to London with said there was all kind of things wrong with him. I didn't ever think it was likely he would actually make it to the O2.

                        Any chance we could change the title of this thread until it's confirmed by someone who's actually reliable?

                          FUCKING HELL!

                          Farrah Fawcett died today as well...

                            LA Times now reporting that he was pronounced dead after arriving to the hospital in a coma.

                              BBC are now reporting he's not dead. They say the LA Times say he's in a coma. It's like Monty Python...

                                I think we should change the thread title for now.

                                The massive inconsistencies between the reports don't look good.

                                  Well, if nothing else, he's broken the internet. Everything is slow as fuck.

                                    Ha, hilarious understatement from the BBC on News 24. "Bonnie Greer, it appears Michael Jackson's health has at the least been badly affected" You reckon?

                                    I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a news flash on the BBC about this. His stature is that big.

                                      I reckon he's doin a Reggie Perrin, cos everyone knows album sales go up lots after an artist dies. He'll be on a a tropical island somewhere.

                                        Swells' last published sentence is sounding kind of eerie right now, no?

                                          I'm changing the thread title back to the original--LA Times is citing a hospital source.

                                            La Times online now definitely saying "pronounced dead at the hospital".
