Report: Michael Jackson, 50, Dies

Legendary singer Michael Jackson died Thursday, according to multiple reports. He was 50.

Known worldwide as the “King of Pop,” Jackson reportedly collapsed after what many sources believe was a heart attack in his Los Angeles-area home earlier this afternoon. Police responded to an emergency call just before 12:30PM; he was revived by on-site paramedics and transported to UCLA Medical Center.

He remained in a coma at the medical facility until just after 3PM, when he was pronounced dead by doctors.

Jackson had been rehearsing in Los Angeles for a major series of concerts–50 sold-out shows–in London.
