R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Date: June 27th 2009

By now, most people have heard the unfortunate and very shocking news that pop, R&B singer and iconic entertainer Michael Jackson is dead. Jackson died Thursday morning at the UCLA Medical Center following being rushed to the hospital after becoming stricken by sudden cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.

Michael Jackson collapsed at his west Los Angeles home Thursday morning and a phone call was made by his staff to 911 at around 12:21 p.m. Michael Jackson, was, at that time, stricken by cardiac arrest, and was found not breathing when the L.A. Fire Department paramedics arrived. Michael Jackson was immediately rushed to UCLA with no pulse where he later died at the hospital after paramedics and doctors made multiple attempts to resuscitate Jackson who was also, by then, stricken by a coma before his sudden death.

Michael Jackson, the greatest performer of his time if not the greatest performer of all time, was 50 years old, at the time of his death, and leaves behind 3 children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.

Michael Jackson had gone down in history, even before his death, as the world’s biggest selling artist of all time which his 1982 album “Thriller” alone sold over 100 million copies, making it still the world’s biggest selling album of all time. Thriller was filled with chart topping, world record breaking hit singles and songs such as “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” and more. “Smooth Criminal,” “Dirty Diana,” “Man in the Mirror,” and “The Way You Make Me Feel,” from Michael Jackson’s 1987 album “Bad,” are too, some of Michael Jackson’s most memorable songs.
