Michael Jackson dead of heart attack
« on: June 25, 2009, 03:49:58 pm »
Micheal Jackson had a heart attack this afternoon.

There are 2 unconfirmed media sources that are saying that he has passed away due to this heart attack.
So far, not official, but....

I'll update the thread (or someone else can post) if/when they hear/read.

This article doesn't say he passed, but is about the heart attack.

Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop," has died after suffering cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home, according to TMZ.

A fire department official said Jackson was not breathing when paramedics arrived at his rented Bel Air mansion at 12:26 p.m., according to CNN-affiliate KTLA News.

Jackson, 50, was treated at UCLA Medical Center. But hospital officials were unable to revive him.

Poor Farah.. =(
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.
I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.
If you're having forum problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but your post ain't one.

And their mothers sulk quietly as they can no longer send their kids to visit Michael and then sue.

Regardless of what he did or did not do in his personal life (NOT that this is an excuse), he was still a fantastic musician.

What he did in his personal life destroyed any respect I might have had for his talent as a musician....

RIP Farah.

+1. I lost all respect for MJ a long time ago, and I will not shed a tear.

Heard it a while ago and i was pretty shocked.

No matter what he did or accused of, he was still a great influence for many people.

RIP MJ!

what he did for pop music (started real music videos), and what he did for charity work is pretty amazing.  i think the world will be a different place without him (i do not not know for good or bad)

He's not dead. He just became SO white, he's now transparent. Him and Elvis are getting together to form a new group 'Dead White Guys Can Dance".

IMO, being a talented musician, an icon or a damaged-from-childhood mental case doesn't allow you the right to do the things you've done.

Sorry. My comments tasteless? yes; worse than touching little boys? no. Sorry Mikey, rides over and it's time to deal with the reality of your demons. At least you'll be warm.
When life hands you lemons, get some tequila and salt , and call me.

He may have done good things, he may have done bad things.  Regardless he's still a human, and it's unfortunate that he has passed away.

He'll be in the grave like every other dead person.  No suffering.

People die, even good dancers (or douchebags, however you see them)

But half the world doesn't give a itshay when my grandpa or father dies, why do I give a itshay about someone I don't know, just because the media put their spotlight on him.

He's only human, and we all die.
