The media here are reporting that Michael Jackson has died this morning of a heart attack. Paramedics were called but were unable to revive him. Have you guys heard this?

HUH?!!! I will go to my newspage right now!

On the news now, though not that he died, but just reported he was not breathing when medics got there about 12:20 pm in CA. Cardiac arrest.

Nothing I see says anything about being dead. He had stopped breathing, but had CPR and is in the hospital now.

Our 10pm news has just been on & there was a mention that he had to be rushed to Hospital today - no further details have been issued to the BBC at this time.

Here in Japan, the actress who was on Charlie's Angel just passed away in cancer is being reported frequently now on TV. There doesn't cme out any Michael Jackson News here.

It's all over the news here that he was unable to be revived.

Just as a total aside... isn't it freaky how quickly news (and rumours) get around the world these days. I remember reading of someone in the twin towers who didn't know what was going on but was called by a family member in another country who told them a plane had hit the tower.

News here is confirming his death - heart problems, cardiac arrest, but too soon to know what caused it.

So true. Wow........

Yeah... that's sad. Farrah Fawcett was one of "Charlie's Angels". She's been battling cancer for a while, it's a cruel disease.
