I heard he is in a coma. He stopped breathing but is in the hospital.

There are several people reporting it. He isn't gone yet. I just hope his kids didn't see him passed out.

LA Times is reporting that he has passed away, which is more reputable than TMZ.

What a horrible, horrible week for US Pop Culture Icons.

Yep. It's coming across now, too.

So, Ed McMahon, Farrah and now MJ.

Wonder if his heart couldn't take the strain of working out for his concerts.

I wonder what the cause of MJ's death was. I know the press is reporting "cardiac arrest" which just means that his heart stopped. It doesn't mean he had a heart attack.
EVERYONE dies of cardiac arrest -- I don't know anyone who has passed on whose heart hasn't stopped.
It will be interesting to see what caused his cardiac arrest...
So, so sad.

wiki has already posted he is dead.. so I guess it's official. He will be missed; I had always hoped he would make a big comeback one day.

SCARY ... they say death comes in 3's ... first Ed, then Farrah, now MJ ... SO SAD. He was like my childhood idol. I'm sure he was for a lot of other people too. He will be missed.
