A Los Angeles fire official told CNN that paramedics arrived at Michael Jackson's home after a 911 call. Jackson had been in a coma at the hospital, sources told CNN after paramedics revived him at his home. 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.

Though he had his share of trials and tribulations in his life, let us not forget what he did for music as we know it.
One of his more popular songs, Black or White. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI9OYMRwN1Q

I don't care what the court of law says. I gurantee you all that if he hadn't been so famous, he would've been convicted and locked up. I don't respect non-famous people who molest kids, so why should I respect him? If there is a hell, he's most likely there. Another idiot who knows nothing about Michael. You are seriously evil. I don't even have to be a fan of him to conclude that much. Why would you say such things? There was never proof that he did it. If you still think he did it then you are only going by your own ignorance to the fact that he was a peace loving guy. I think you should see this video. This guy explains it in detail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90yKZZv8XSg&feature=channel_page People like Michael don't go to hell. People who feed on the accusations of him being a pedophile for their own career do. I've listened to his interviews. He justifies sharing a bed with kids who aren't his. It's one thing if one of his kids had a bad dream and they wanted to sleep in his bed, but a non-pedophile adult doesn't invite kids over for slumber parties. I also know he played the scarecrow in "The Wiz" and that he married Lisa Marie Presley at one point. I also know about how he hired a voodoo guy to set a curse on Steven Spielburg for not giving him the Peter Pan role in "Hook." I saw that on either "E" or VH1. I also know that Eddie Van Halen played guitar on "Beat It," making that the best thing that ever happened with Michael's music. He also paid off people in court and dangled his baby over a balcony. He could've shown his fans the baby without doing that. I also know his father mistreated him. I know plenty about him to form an opinion. I only respect those who deserve it. It's sad that many of his fans blindly stand by him despite all the things he has done. By the way, if I do end up in some kind of hell, I'll save you a seat. You obviously don't know anything about him and you blow up negative publicity like the rest of those media airheads. No ones going to hell sir, if there is a hell you would be there because god does not want people to judge other and judging Michael for having a different image on life sure will get you there. You don't know enough about Michael Jackson. People stand by him because they know him as the King of pop who cared about people. He hasn't done anything. There was no pedophile charges, they admitted that it was a lie, he had those kids sleep in his king sized bed just because they wanted to. He was a kid in an adults body and that's all. Again, judging him from your own ignorant opinion won't get anyone sent to hell but you. You're basically condemning me and half my family friends for having this opinion that is different than yours. My dad would never let me listen to Michael Jackson in his home because he's a peddophile. If he truly was innocent, he would have never paid anybody a cent. I'm not gonna change my opinion on him and start respecting him now that he's dead. Him being dead does not change what he did on Earth. Maybe he won't go to hell, but if heaven's gonna be nice for little boys, he shouldn't be there

People are innocent until proven guilty. He was proven innocent. The family wouldn't have said that they made it up if in the end it actually happened. The only thing that makes you think he is a Pedophile is his kid like personality. Get over it.
And he payed them because he didn't want to go to court.
And him being famous had nothing to do with him getting off. It's the fact that he didn't molest those kids and that there was no evidence. You just don't want to believe that and that's your own whacked opinion. Don't go around saying he's going to hell though. That's messed up.
Unless you have 100 percent evidence or reason of him molesting kids.
Also, the bastard that got him caught up in trials lied about it. MJ paid him to stop the negative publicity of the trials. At the time of all this, I also thought it was suspicious that he paid the family, but it all makes sense. He had a good heart, he was a child at heart.
I just proved that I know plenty about Michael Jackson to form an opinion! People need to grow up when they become adults! An opinion won't get someone sent to hell. Molesting kids will. He got off because of his fame and him being the so-called king of pop. On a side note, I personally believe Prince's music is much better than Michael Jackson, the queen of pop.
So he liked to sleep with children. Cool. We have no reason to assume he did anything more than sleep.
To all the pricks posting cruel jokes or mean comments, fuck off. Seriously, are you that fucking cold hearted that you give this poor guy shit even after he's died? :|
I was like laughing, and shocked when I heard he died because I didn't believe it.
