Jackson Suffers Cardiac Arrest?

Michael JacksonTMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital this afternoon from his Los Angeles-area home.

The site says a 911 call came from Jackson's home and "we're told it was cardiac arrest and that the paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance." TMZ is now quoting a family member, saying, Jackson is in "really bad shape" and his brothers are headed to UCLA Medical Center.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department explained that a paramedic crew was called to the house and "when the team arrived, they saw that CPR was already in progress by someone at the home. The person not breathing was transported to UCLA Medical Center and remains there."

"He had a heart attack," father Joe Jackson tells E! News. "He is not OK."

Jackson has been preparing for a string of concerts in London and it was recently reported that "Incredible Hulk" star Lou Ferrigno was helping him get in shape for the performances.

Michael was a human being who was gone to soon. I don't think he molested kids i think he was a introvert who could not relate to adults i mean good god Joe Jackson as a dad would be a nightmare. He and were the same age thats scary. Also all the Jackson kids have oddities.

he lived on the edge! all those surgeries must have weakened his heart. whatever you thought of him personally he was very talented, and very used by others.

Michael Jackson had amazing talent. He was a child molester. A sexual predator. Why venerate a sick and harmful man?

This saddens me so much. No matter what he was "accused" of, he was still such a great performer and had a great heart. He will be so missed. May God have grace on you, Michael.

Michael Jackson did not die. He underwent radical plastic surgery, assuming a new identity, to escape all of the scandal surrounding his life. I heard he will relocate to the town that Elvis is currently living in.

It just blows my mind that people are so anxious to throw stones. I'm not judging Michael for anything that he "might" have done. No one is perfect and we all face our maker one day and face judgment for our transgressions. IF Michael did what he was accused of, then he will have to meet it head on with the Lord, who is the only one who can judge us honestly since He already knows every sin we ALL commit every day or our lives. I agree that he was strange, but I still admired him and loved to watch him perform and so sadden to see him gone.

He is gone, but not forgotten. Those of you who think bad of him should keep it to yourselves. This is not the place to belittle him. Let the king of pop rest in peace.

THANK GOODNESS THIS "WONDERFUL" ANOMALY OF A PERSON IS GONE, HE TRULY WAS A SHAMEFUL EXAMPLE OF AN HONEST PERSON--HE COULD HAVE DONE SO MUCH MORE FOR THE WORLD, HIS MUSIC AND DANCE BROUGHT TOGETHER THE WORLD, BUT HIS LIFESTYLE AND ALEGED ABUSE OF KIDS WAS SHAMEFUL, IF HE WAS HONEST ABOUT HIS CONTACT WITH THOSE KIDS, I WOULD REPECT HIM MORE, BUT HE NEVER THOUGHT "SLEEPING WITH A 12 YEAR OLD WAS WRONG.....HE WAS WRONG ...AND THE CLOUD OF SHAME WILL FOREVER HANG OVER HIS GRAVE...........
