Michael Jackson’s is Dead, circumstances unclear

Law enforcement officers said that L.A. Police Department robbery and homicide detectives have opened an investigation into the death of Michael Jackson, though they stressed there is no evidence of anything criminal at this time. The detectives plan to interview relatives and friends of the King of Pop, as well as Jacko’s doctors to try to figure out what happened. The L.A. County coroner’s office will determine a cause of death in due time. Since Michael Jackson was in full cardiac arrest when the rescue units arrived on scene though, it is uncertain if an autopsy will reveal anything.

The Los Angeles Times reports,

A doctor was in the house, performing CPR on Jackson, said the source who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Paramedics were called to a home on the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard.

Jackson rented the Bel-Air home — described as a French chateau built in 2002 with seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and a theater — for $100,000 a month. The home is about a six-minute drive from UCLA Medical Center. Jackson has three children — sons Prince Michael 7, and Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., 12, and daughter Paris Michael Katherine, 11.

Michael Jackson Had Planned Music Comeback Before His Death

Michael Jackson, who today died at 50 years of age, was attempting a comeback and a revival of his pop music career after years of negative headlines in the yellow press. His trial before the court is a few years back yet we haven’t forgotten it; the incredible acquittal on child molestation charges, unfortunately, remains a dark spot on the King of Pop’s history.

The L.A. Times:

In May, The Times reported that Jackson had rented the Bel-Air residence and was rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London’s O2 Arena. Jackson had won the backing of two billionaires to get the so-called “King of Pop” back on stage.

Michael Jackson Shouldn’t Have Died!

…say millions of his fans across the world. Michael Jackson was indeed a pop star, if not the pop star – his nickname, “King of Pop”, was given to him for a good reason. Jackson’s pop music made friends and inspired his fans.

Michael Jackson’s backers envision the shows at AEG’s O2 as an audition for a career rebirth that could ultimately encompass a three-year world tour, a new album, movies, a Graceland-like museum, musical revues in Las Vegas and Macau, and even a “Thriller” casino. Such a rebound could wipe out Jackson’s massive debt.

Michael Jackson is dead as of June 26, 2009. Long live the King.
