michael jackson heart attack

World famous U.S. pop star Michael Jackson died on Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles, the city's coroner has confirmed.

In a telephone interview with CNN, Los Angeles Coroner Fred Corral said that the 50-year-old star was pronounced dead after arriving at a local hospital in full cardiac arrest.

The 50-year-old singer was picked up this afternoon at his rented home in Bel Air around 12:26 p.m. where medics had to administer CPR before transporting him to UCLA hospital.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

Capt. Steve Ruda of the Los Angeles Fire Dept. told the LA Times that Jackson was not breathing when help arrived at the house, which is about a two minute drive from the hospital.

A source inside the hospital told us there was "absolute chaos" after Jackson arrrived. People who were with the singer were screaming, "You've got to save him! You've got to save him!"

La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Jackson was born on Aug. 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, the seventh of nine children. Five Jackson boys -- Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael -- first performed together at a talent show when Michael was 6.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
