  • 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.
  • You know, today has been a weird day for entertainers
    First is was Farrah now it's The Strange One.
    People Magazine is going to have a field day with their next issue
  • 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.

  • LA times and Associated Press has just confirmed his death today at 3:15!! I can't believe it- I love Michael Jackson- I was looking forward to his comeback tour! I'm so sad!! *sob*
  • My mom called me to tell me and I was looking at the news sites since. They are now all reporting he is dead I can't tell you how much I loved 80s michael so much.
  • Quote: 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.
    Wow, how big is the rock I'm living under?? I didn't know about Ed McMahon until I read this thread.
  • I can't believe all 3 of them died so close together!!
  • 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.
  • That is so sad.
  • Thsi afternoon i was chatting with a my hubby and a friend and watching the news about Farah, I asked "so i wonder who the 3rd will be" I guess now i know, SO WEIRD AND FREAKY!!!. The last time I asked that question Heath Ledger passed away . Oh and technically MJ is 4th, I just remembered David Carradine
