TMZ: Michael Jackson Has Died
Pop Star Reportedly Suffered Cardiac Arrest, Was Rushed To UCLA Medical Center
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
King of Pop Michael Jackson died Thursday at a Los Angeles hospital where he was rushed around 1 pm PT by paramedics, according to celebrity Web site TMZ.
Jackson had reportedly suffered cardiac arrest.
Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times earlier Thursday that paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. Ruda said Jackson was not breathing when they arrived.
Jackson had announced months ago that he would be doing a comeback tour, but his representatives announced in May that the the star would postpone several of his London shows scheduled for this summer.
Jackson, who has sold more than 750 million albums and won 13 Grammys, hasn't undertaken a a major tour since 1997 or released an album of new material since 2001.
The 50-year-old singer has been seen in public infrequently since he was acquitted of child molestation in California in 2005. He has struggled to pay his debts, and was forced last year to give up the deed to Neverland, his 2,500-acre ranch and miniature amusement park in California.
(CNN) -- Entertainer Michael Jackson was taken to a hospital on Thursday, according to a Los Angeles Fire Department official.
A Los Angeles fire official told CNN that paramedics arrived at Michael Jackson's home after a 911 call.
Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m. and the patient was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.
Asked specifics of the patient's condition, the spokesman said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.
Ndiyo alikuwa hapumui. Ila siyo kwamba amekufa. Sasa hii ya kusema kuwa kafa ni kuwa unaiweka wee au kuna mtu ameandika? CNN wanadai kuwa amelazwa. Ila wengine wanadai kuwa alitakiwa kupata huduma within 10 min. na wengine wanadai kuwa ni 3-4 min. kwa sababu baadaye, ubongo unaanza kufanya mambo ovyo ovyo. Haijulikani ilichukua muda gani tangu kuitwa ambulance hadi kupata huduma ya kwanza. Kutoka kwake hadi hospital ilichukua 10 min. Ingelikuwa Tanzania (Dar) jamaa angelikuwa marehemu tayari. Ila kwa Sikonge, sasa hivi watu wangelishaanza kuchimba kaburi. Mungu mrehemu star wetu (wazee).
