Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

CNN is missing the 'dying' part:

Well, TMZ broke the paramedics story, and they seem to be the ones breaking the death, too. Supposedly he wasn't revived before getting to the hospital.

Default Michael Jackson dead?

BBC NEWS | Americas | Michael Jackson taken to hospital

Still unconfirmed as I type, but seems likely.

EDIT: already been posted, didn't see that sorry.

Now my CNN alert says he died, CNN's main page says he's in a coma, and clicking on the full story link says AP is saying he's dead.

It's confirmed. He's dead at 50. Never cared for him and won't miss him at all. I believe he should have been in prison for child molesting.

While I don't agree with what he did, I did admire him for his musical artistry and will miss him.

His family is in my prayers.

R.I.P. Michael. When he was with his brothers, they were awesome!

Michael is officially dead. ABC, CNN, NBC, AP, and Reuters now all reflect this
