LOS ANGELES -- Pop star Michael Jackson has been taken to UCLA Medical Center by ambulance suffering from cardiac arrest, fire officials confirm.

Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a 911 call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda says.

It's unclear what he was being treated for or what his current condition may be.

@snood,

@djjd62,

If they take him to the Indian Burial ground, he can be brought back to life.

Thriller was the top of his career.

Yeah, I saw a report that he's dead. It made me suddenly sad. Mostly about how shitty his life was.

@Gargamel,

Ill bet that his silly microbiotic diets and his beliefs about nutrition caught up with him. Ill wager a farthing that his blood alkali levels will be found to be low. (K, Na, Ca, and Mg)

...then again, he/they had been planning, rehearsing and getting his massive 50- date world tour to open on July 8 (in England I think)...but the dates were moved ahead by 5 days (at least). Apparently, he was not in shape to handle this massive workload.

seems to be official, the LA Times, Associated Press and CNN are all reporting his death

Apparently it didn't take long for fans to show up to the UCLA Medical Center in costume. Touching, I suppose, but a little morbid too if you ask me.

@Shapeless,

I find the insta-obits a bit morbid too.... gotta be a weird job to make those for the living.

@Shapeless,

I think of Michael not often, but if I do, it's as a child. So, rest in peace, Michael, that child.

On UCLA, busy place, doesn't need hoards fanning. At least it's summer.
Insta obits, I've understood they are near always at the ready at major newspapers, and now I suppose websites, and, I figure, always being edited. Odd assignment, that's true.
And what gets into an obit can be problematic.
