(CNN) — Entertainer Michael Jackson has died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, according to multiple reports including the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press. CNN has not confirmed his death.
A Los Angeles fire official told CNN that paramedics arrived at Michael Jackson’s home after a 911 call.
Jackson, 50, had been in a coma at the hospital, sources told CNN.
Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in west Los Angeles Thursday morning.
Family members were told of the situation and were either at the hospital or en route, Oxman said.
Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m.
Ruda said Jackson was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.
Asked specifics of the patient’s condition, he said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.
The music icon from Gary, Indiana, is known as the “King of Pop.”
Jackson is the seventh of nine children in a well-known musical family.
At the medical center, every entrance to the emergency room was blocked by security guards. Even hospital staffers were not permitted to enter. A few people stood inside the waiting area, some of them crying.

Sorry Insurgent Guy. I didn’t give you near enough credit for you astuteness as a researcher. You found one of the only of approximately two major serial killer cases involving a black man in history. Maybe you can enlighten me here, but Jeffery Dommer, Ted Bundy, The Bloody Benders of Wayside Inn (a whole family of serial murderers), Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono, John Wayne Gacy,Joseph Paul Franklin (at least 11 racially motivated murders. I won’t insult you by suggesting that you’d consider him a hero), Robert Lee Yates,are just a few of the hundreds of more notables. They were black right? Let me save you some wear on that tattered library card of yours. No they were not. So you found one piece of crap that just happened to be black for justification of your hatred of even the black detectives and officers who helped bring them him and others to justice. What about the blacks who risk their lives testifying against criminals so that the rest of us can be spare the pain of becoming victims. Wrong again on the question of Black Surgeons (this doesn’t count physician who don’t have a surgical practice). I thought you might have a little trouble finding a good cutter should the need arrise. So, here are a few groups that may be able to direct you:
*Association of Black Cardiovascular *and Thoracic Surgeons
*The Society of Black Academic Surgeons
*Association of Black Cardiologists
*Association for African American Physicians
*Association of Pediatric Surgeons of Black Africa
Legitimately chartered organizations of AMA board certified surgeons. Try it. Come on, you can say it… “Thousands of life-saving Black medical professionals. Not the room full of screaming monkeys that I have deluded myself to believe that they are.” Doesn’t that feel better?
Again, I’m sorry, but where was your indignation when Michael Swango, a physician and surgeon who poisoned over 30 of his patients and colleagues? I guess it was ok, because he looked more like good white folk? More of your “Hate all things black” argument falls apart when you consider that your wish for harm and destruction of black people in our own country is just the same as all of the wrongs that you blindly attribute to only African Americans during war. You have to be on hearty hallucinagens to even suggest that more than a small number of military men participated in the publicized attrocities and the percentage of them that were black are as purportionately small as their overall population in the armed forces. You’ve been to Nam, but did you serve? The tour bus doesn’t go when and where we’re sent. Most blacks were reluctant to call locals “Gooks” or to mistreat them. Some cited the treatment of blacks in America, where you want them as to die. Go figure.
Yes, blacks are good. They have been attacked by Whites. This latest news is about a nigger massmurderer (serial killer). He murdered 9 women.

No comment.
Hey bro, you are wrong again and i’m getting tired of this issue go far from the original cast.
I am NOT anti-American, I live in the USA. If I am anti-American I would probably run far from this dangerous country.
However, I am anti-US Gov’t. Woooooooo, the boogey man, yes. Don’t bagatelize the war-attrocites, bc only the US gov’t which bombing with phosphorous bombs Dresden, murdering 200.000 mostly women and children overnight, the US gov’t dropped 2 A-bombs on Japan, sprayed dioxin and napalm over Vietnam’s landscape to poison food-supply nad only the US gov’t acts as a world-policestate on false accusations against other countries theydon’t fit in their pro-jiddish policies. Only the US gov’t sends troops to foreign countries occupy them and rape, torture and murder women, children… By the way, in 1995 the Japanese government asked the US gov’t (aka: Evil Empire) to re-call ALL black and mexican troops from its occupying forces stationing in Japan, due to the overwhelming attacks by black and mexican soldiers on young Japanese girls.
The US gov’t refused. As of last month a black soldier attacked and murdered a 59 yrs old Japanese cabdriver. it was in the news.
I don’t care about your rants of ‘good blacks’. You go far when you said that if I woke up and a black surgeon gave me an organ, I would refuse?
It’s very unlikely i will go thru this. Maybe now, under the NObamaDeathCare yes, but how many black surgeosn out there? I see very very few. So the likelihood to get a black surgeon equals with the odds to an airplane crash…
I see. You’re just anti-American. You have every right to be. There are terrible things that every country AS WELL AS YOURS has done throughout history. You won’t even declare what country you are from. That’s the difference between us Americans and those who hide behind other people’s flags to cause trouble (i.e. Insurgients). We openly acknowledge our responsibility, but never deny our nation. Are you ashamed of them too?
The confusion that you demonstrate is in your inordinate hatred of black people, who you say you want all to die. They have been as much victims as the Vietnamese or any other people on earth. So how do you reconcile your pseudo-compassion for Asians with you hatred of people whose skin is just a little darker?
This discussion has moved from you jumping on the bandwagon of unfounded accusations against the most successful and one of the most talented performing artists in history to your hatred against blacks in general to your hatred of America in general. Is hatred your real problem? You’re against a lot of things. What are you for? What would make things better in your opinion?
You would refuse treatment from a black doctor: TOTAL BULLSHITE!
So, after awaking from anesthesia and finding that your life had been saved by a black surgeon, you proceed to rip out your our sutures and throw out any organs that he might have touched during the procedure? GET THE FCK OUTTA HERE (LOL)!!
What did black people ever do to you personally or for that matter anyone you know? What has any everyday American done against you? I’m not talking about politicians. I mean the real people who you probably don’t even know. Or did you read your own personal experience in some propaganda rag too?
Watch the movie?
No one is glorifying war or the attrocities of it. The point you are missing is that whites and blacks can live and work together under some of the most extreme circumstances imagineable. Through those experience and many others many have questioned and fully abandoned their senseless racist hatred. Movies don’t sell very well in championing such facts.
Yankee? I am glad to be American tried and true. Part of the reason we can Acknowledge the sins of her past and grow to be better neighbors and citizens in this world. I didn’t notice you mentioning attrocities committed against people in or at the hand of the country where live. What nation has clean hands? What do we do to make it better? Wish for the death of black people? I think not. Maybe, we can start by taking people on an individual level and let their contributions speak for them instead of just hating a whole group. Some of them may have or may one day save you or your children’s lives.
You are liar! You did not stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your niggers. Watch the movie: BORN ON THE 4th OF JULY
Niggers admitted many times: that war is the white man’s war. They have nothing to do to kill Vietnamese. But they did. A LOT. Niggs were more sadistic in war than Whites.
Oh man thats nice. I was in nam many times, just got back from Ben Tre and Da Lat. You know, Ben Tre? The US Army almost detoyed the entire 19km long village section with napalm. Shoulder-to-shoulder, nigger with whites, who cares?
How could you kill farmers? Women? Children as young as 4 yrs old in My lai? I was in Quang Ngai and My Lai 1,5 years ago… People still suffer from birth defects, tainted vegetables from your Dioxin ‘defoliation’. The only peopel you yankee assholes did NBOT kill were VC and NVA soldiers. They were laughning at you in the tunnels. Oh well, you brothers shoulder-to-shoulder you loved to bomb from safe high above on women, children like 1945 Dresden ha? How about Japan? Burning and nuke woken and children alive is nice? Why? Because they are Asians? You love your AIDS-infected niggers, be your own guest.
You yankees are the dumbest, most hypocrit fucks on Earth. And dont play the humanitarian bro-and-sis here. Look at what your fucked-up gov’t is dpoing in Iraq and Afghanistan…
And yes, I would refuse to be treated by a nigger.
This person, Tabor, wants all black people to die. In Nam, we stood shoulder to shoulder, black and white and watch each other’s six until we bought the freedom bird or one of charlie’s rounds. Either way brothers in arms. Oh, I’m sorry. tablr doesn’t know the power of unity and brotherhood, only bigotry and narrow-minded hatred.
I wonder, if they rushed Tabor to the hospital wounded near death, would he refuse treatment from the nice black surgeon and die? I DON’T THINK SO! SO CUT THE CRAP!!!!
Is he (or she) secretly oggling those beautifully round black booties as they stroll down the avenue? Come on T, ‘fess up.
Sorry Fran,
I like Elvis’s music to this day, but Micheal Jackson out-performed, out-sold and more people worldwide flocked to his concerts than to those of Elvis, The Stone or The Beatles. Just fact. The entire world says, “Sorry Fran. Elvis was a wonderful entertainer, but kingdoms change. Get over it!”
Really?
A better place for children?
So along with Jackson’s UNSUBTANTIATED allegations we have somehow gotten rid of the pediphile priests, child molesters and perverts in the school system, TV and movies that promote inordinately high and unhealthy sexual obsession and force-feeding unnatural sexual preference upon the children of America? All of that, a byproduct of Michael Jackson untimely death?
Whoever came up with this title, what have you personally done to protect anyone? Are you a champion of children or a loudmouth with a keyboard?
There are real and proven threats to our nation’s children that need to be addressed. I don’t think the scary black man with millions of dollars (the real scary part) was one of them, unless you are of the school embracing the concept that anything debase and negative about a black man should be accepted as true until strenuously proven false. Even then, he has to apologize for what he hasn’t done.
Look at the man in the mirror and then, if you’re able, cast the first stone.
One sick, perverted nigger less in the world. Thanks God. When the other niggers will follow him?
Jackson was not the King of Pop. Elvis Presley was and always will be.
Who ever wrote this seems a little prejudiced and racist
OMG, really? The world is a safer place for children? Is that all you are going to remember about the man? Say what you will about him personally, but he was one of the greatest entertainers of our generation and we lost someone near and dear to many people’s hearts. Try not to drag the name of the dead through the mud. RIP Michael
He was sick perverted monster an should have been water boareded till he dided rest in hell michael jackson
he is not dad, he lives now on the island with biggie, 2pac, elvis and bob marley.
