What caused Michael Jackson‘s sudden death?

Michael Jackson

According to a new report, the singer — who suffered cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon — may have taken a drugs overdose.

“Michael was non-responsive when he arrived in the emergency room. They didn’t call a time of death until he was here. They tried to revive him, then said he was dead,” a source told X 17.

(See our Michael Jackson gallery)

“A few different people were with him but they were all giving conflicting information,” the source added. “The sense of a possible drug overdose is lingering. They’re sending him in for an autopsy.”

(Read the stars’ tributes to Jacko)

The LA Times reports:

The circumstances of Jackson’s death remain unclear. Law enforcement sources said that Los Angeles Police Department robbery-homicide detectives have opened an investigation into the death, though they stressed there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing. The detectives plan to interview relatives, friends and Jackson’s doctors to try to figure out what happened. The L.A. County coroner’s office will determine a cause of death.

Brian Oxman, the Jackson family attorney, told CNN that the superstar had a very serious problem with prescription medication, and that the people that were surrounding him were enablers. “If you think the case with Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, it’s nothing in comparison to what we have seen taking place in Michael Jackson’s life.”

    This article dances around the idea MJ died of a drug overdose. True, he has had a history of abusing drugs, however no evidence except for an anon. source and a quote from the LA Times, because the editor didn’t have the balls to say MJ actually died from a drug overdoese.

    WOW…that was surprise (not). Man will judge him based on their past experiences and emotions. God will judge him on the truth.

    I’m so sorry for Michael. Despite the fame and money he had a very stressful life, always in the public eye, the vitiglio infection that discolored his skin, his childhood as a performer preventing normal development.

    His cosmetic surgeries may have been a way of harming himself just like rich women do while the poor ones just attack themselves with a razor blade.
    He was so talented but badly exploited, no normal folks to provide trusted companionship.
    Very talented, unique, he will be missed by millions worldwide.
    RIP Michael.

    If there’s one blessing which may come out of this, maybe his children won’t be forced to wear masks and can maybe live a more normal life.

  • mike mann

    Jackson never had a skin problem. This is fake. He used bleach to change the color of skin to white over a long period to go with his mental illness psychological conditions that he could reverse his negroid race and become a caucasoid has he clearly did with the 100 plus plastic surgerys costing more 50 million to completely alter his racial traits on his hair nose lips ears and body. Plastic surgeons couldnt alter his natural genetic black negroid flesh melanin so he faked the skin disease in order to bleach himself white.
    The man thought he was a god and in the process destroyed himself trying to change and alter his own natural genetic traits of his negroid race.

  • Lori

    Leave him rest in peace! Can you?
    Millions of people worldwide loved him .
    RIP Michael.

    Stern MURDERED Anna N and got away with it. Wonder who is really behind MJ’s death?

  • lester figgler

    Milloins of idiots liked John Dillenger and Bonnie and Clyde. Just shows how stuipid and ignunt the sheeples are. Why are we wasting so much time on the death of a drug addicted, bleached out, pedophile? He did so much to save the world? He died $400 million in debt. Maybe he was saving the world with money that he borrowed and never intended to repay. I think they call that fraud. Hopefully, his doctors will be indicted like he was. Anyway, the world is already a better place now that he isn’t in it.

    I disliked the whole Jackson act when I saw it in the eighties. A “drugged out, bleached paedophile” says it all. His ludicrous girations and the foolish paraphernalia that he surrounded himself with – it all speaks for the idiot he was, typical of the thousands of moronic ‘stars’ that millions of foolish people are encouraged to ‘worship’.

  • David

    I will really miss Michael Jackson, like all of us i am still yet to come to terms with the greatest entertainer on the earth to pass away. It has really left me in a “state of shock” and i dont know what more to say. R.I.P Michael Jackson on earth you will live forever :’(

  • Maria G

    OD? With a doctor in attendance on a daily basis? Please. Another drug enabling situation hidden under the cover of “MD”. Nothing but pushers in white coats.
    Also, I believe that in an effort to suppress his testosterone, MJ probably took a lot of female hormones. This can be very damaging to the body.
    But, the doctors fed him this garbage! The doctors need to be in jail!

  • http://rense lester2

    All of you folks that “worship” these drugged out pedophiles
    and such should either get a life, turn off your tv, read a book, or just follow your god to the happy hunting grounds.
    You’re clogging up the planet.

    REST IN PEACE MICHAEL JACKSON YOU ARE IN A G00D PLACE NOW…YUR PAIN IS GONE NOW…YUU WILL BE ALIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEART

    PST! I MISS YUU ALREADII

  • Rick

    Media blasts us with MJ this and MJ that..whatever. Media ignores Congress passing another fiasco piece of legislation, the Obama/Pelosi Global warming bill–H.R. 2454-Waxman-Markey bill. This monster will be voted on without any members reading the damn thing (over 1000 pgs long) demanding a tax to fund the new world order..effectively ending the United States as a sovereign country. Pay attention to what affects you and your family people and quit fawning over a derelict waste of human. What a wretched dude he was.

  • Shushan

    I am so sorry. I truely cried. Michael Jackson’s earth song is a masterpiece. I do have lots of respect for him. I don’t believe in gossips because they are born in the result of jealousy. God bless his soul.

  • Austin

    Good ridance you sick twisted child molesting creature
    may your soul scream for a thousand years in a hell of your own making. To you sick fans may you reside in his hell with him, a mothers curse of sorrow on you all may it last another thousand years.

    Michael Jackson “Earth Song lyrics”
    What about sunrise
    What about rain
    What about all the things
    That you said we were to gain.. .
    What about killing fields
    Is there a time
    What about all the things
    That you said was yours and mine…
    Did you ever stop to notice
    All the blood we’ve shed before
    Did you ever stop to notice
    The crying Earth the weeping shores?

    What have we done to the world
    Look what we’ve done
    What about all the peace
    That you pledge your only son…
    What about flowering fields
    Is there a time
    What about all the dreams
    That you said was yours and mine…
    Did you ever stop to notice
    All the children dead from war
    Did you ever stop to notice
    The crying Earth the weeping shores
    I used to dream
    I used to glance beyond the stars
    Now I don’t know where we are
    Although I know we’ve drifted far
    Hey, what about yesterday
    (What about us)

    (What about us)
    What about elephants
    (What about us)
    Have we lost their trust
    (What about us)
    What about crying whales
    (What about us)
    We’re ravaging the seas
    (What about us)
    What about forest trails
    (ooo, ooo)
    Burnt despite our pleas
    (What about us)
    What about the holy land
    (What about it)
    Torn apart by creed
    (What about us)
    What about the common man
    (What about us)
    Can’t we set him free
    (What about us)
    What about children dying
    (What about us)
    Can’t you hear them cry
    (What about us)
    Where did we go wrong
    (ooo, ooo)
    Someone tell me why
    (What about us)
    What about babies
    (What about it)
    What about the days
    (What about us)
    What about all their joy
    (What about us)

    we live in a strange society,we make legends out of drug addicted pedophiles,who belonged in prison or a mental institution,exuse me he was found innocent,how much did he pay to get those families off his back,o.j. was also innocent,well one can moon walk and the other was a great ball player,like i said our priorities are a little fu..ed up.

  • Jeanette

    Young boys everywhere can breath a sigh of relief. Their gold digging parents won’t be able to pimp them out to that monster again.

  • Gene

    It appears Jackson was taking a cocktail of prescription tranquilizers, anti-depressants and painkillers with the smoking gun being daily injections of Demerol a very powerful narcotic. They said on the news tonight that it will be 6 weeks before a final toxicology report …oh my! It is likely there are some people in serious trouble starting with the dope doc that was shooting up Jackson with narcotics as well as other enablers in the loop, but if the net has some bigfish in it then a cover-up may be in the works.

    it is sad micheal jackson passed away . i do think he will have biggest funeral in U.S.A . I do think it is wrong to put his body in neverland . Neverland was the place he had all the trouble in his life that destroyed him in the eyes of U.S.A people . Elvis Presley will alway be Best . He never be equal to elvis , elvis never was any trouble or in courts for some unlawful things

  • ms.mo

    Everyone is so eager to bring out all the negatives on MJ instead of remembering him as the GREATEST ENTERTAINER of all times. It seems this situation has become a racial topic. Whenever a Black person becomes rich & famous, people plus the media can’t wait for something negative to try to bring them down. Did they do this to elvis? He was known to die from drugs and he didn’t care for Black people. Did they or do they talk about that? People still idolize him today and he didn’t & don’t have nothing on Mike when it comes to stage performance,singing or selling records. Remember MJ is WORLDWIDE! elvis was mostly known in the US. All you white prejudice people & haters- white & black who never have nothing positive to say about anything, YOU PEOPLE know despite all the controversy when Mike was on stage it was phenominal- and u know this.

  • ms.mo

    This is not about elvis stop comparing!

  • Gene

    Both the mainstream media and tabloid media (they are one in the same) are frantically trying to weave a cover-up over Jackson’s death. There are many doctors who were providing Michael with powerful precription drugs and my guess is they are all part of a Hollywood rx supply ring and these same dope peddling doctors have countless other junkie customers who are high profile actors and actresses and rock & roll stars … this is going to be a barn burner!

  • Cricket

    Michael Jackson will always be remembered as one of the greatest entertainers of all time. All the negative comments are not necessary, I’m quite sure those of you that have something bad to say can’t sing one tune or dance one step. You didn’t know MJ, did you witness any of the negative things that are being said? Show SOME condelence to friends, family, and loved ones. MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE! MJ we will miss you!

  • Gene

    Not only was Jackson getting powerful narcotic painkillers but now it appears he was also getting dangerous operating room sedatives … and now the DEA is after the doctor dealers, this is going to get very ugly for some people!

    -none of this is said to be true.. micheal jackson only took to sleeping pills to go into a deep sleep and channel in to the spirits of the devil. jackson was also a part of this whole devil worshipping hip hop artist thing. it was said that jackson never had a skin disease ; it was said that he only bleached his skin because he was told to do so by a spirit/god he was worshiping in his deep sleep. jackson was said to have a room in his house that only had mirrors and he went into the room and cut off all the lights and sat down in the middle of the room and channel in with the fallen angels from heaven who could neither go to heaven nor hell. jackson was believed to have been a follower of ALEISTER CROWLEY a known satianist. crowley was said to have started the entire celebrity worshiping teh devil stuff.he also started the orginization OTO. crowley also had a roomin his house with mirrors where he would go and talk to his leader SATAN. to find out more about this subject you can go to http://www.industryexposed.com or you can google 666, OTO, or aliester crowley…
