The singer suffered a cardiac arrest Thursday (June 25 2009) afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him.
When paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back, according to TMZ. Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive. La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.
The star was due to begin a series of comeback concerts with an appearance at London’s O2 arena on July 13.
A spokeswoman for The Outside Organisation, which was organizing the publicity for the shows, said she had no comment at this time.
He had a history of health problems and had not completed a concert tour in 12 years.
Uri Gellar, a close friend of the star, told BBC News, “I’m devastated – it’s very, very sad.
“I’m still trying to hold on to the glimmer that it’s not true. It’s too surreal for me to absorb that Michael is no longer with us.”
Jackson had three children — Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II.
