Breaking News: Singer Michael Jackson Dies of Cardiac Arrest

Wow.. I am speechless.. The world has lost the 21st century Elvis. There will be a special open thread on Michael Jackson for Friday.

TMZ reports Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest at his home today. While others are reporting he was taken to the hospital, TMZ says he was dead when paramedics arrived and attempts at resusitation failed.

On a side note: Jackson was sent to UCLA Medical Center where doctors attempt to revive Jackson. It was confirmed in the hospital of his passing. Jackson was just fifty years old and left behind three children. Enjoy my favorite video of Michael Jackson: His version of his song Billie Jean from Motown 25 celebration.
