Michael Jackson , King of Pop, has joined Farrah Fawcett today.
As was first reported on TMZ:
Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles due to cardiac arrest. Paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance.
CNN had reported that Jackson was in a coma:
Entertainer Michael Jackson is in a coma after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, sources briefed on the situation told CNN. Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in west Los Angeles Thursday morning. Family members were told of the situation and were either at the hospital or en route, Oxman said. Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m. Ruda said Jackson was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center. At the medical center, every entrance to the emergency room was blocked by security guards. Even hospital staffers were not permitted to enter. A few people stood inside the waiting area, some of them crying.

TMZ:
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive. A source inside the hospital told us there was “absolute chaos” after Jackson arrrived. People who were with the singer were screaming, “You’ve got to save him! You’ve got to save him!” We’re told one of the staff members at Jackson’s home called 911. La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Odd Culture will always be partial to the old Mike:
The too-soon, awful joke: He died from food poisoning – ate 12 year old nuts.
But srsly: RIP, Mike. Saw you during the Victory tour, from the nosebleed seats. Mom took me.
