Michael Jackson is dead

[QOD]

sad

BBC News are saying they can't confirm he has died.

It says on sky news that he has had a heart attack (cardiac arrest)

Cannot believe it, was listening to Smooth criminal whilst cooking dinnet tonight.

TMZ says he's dead.

well it's all over facebook

Very sad news but the press are coming out wth some corkers.

BBC News - apparently his concerts may need to be rescheduled

Sky News - if the stories we're hearing tonight are correct, he might not be able to come to london for his shows

Wow they;re good, very inciteful!

BTW no disrespect to Michael Jackson, just can;t believe how the news are trying to fill time

Farah Fawcett and Micheal Jackson both reported as dead.

TMZ are saying he is dead

BBC are saying that TMZ are saying he is dead

Sky news are saying that TMZ say he is dead.

It all comes down to TMZ.

If you actually watch sky news it isn't actually a confirmed fact that it was Micheal Jackson that was admitted to hospital. Just someone "fitting his description" - although I think (from TMZ) that his family have been seen rushing to the hospital which is probably a pretty big clue.

I am not doubting that he has been admitting to hospital. And indeed he may be dead. He probably is....but at the end of the day there is a single source of info and TBH I don't know how trusted it is...

sky news saying latoya rushed to hosp to be at his bedside...

NANN, I think it's shock a little. It was the same when Diana died and the BBC said something about how she wouldn't now manage to some upcoming event.

sounds like he is dead then.

I wasnt expecting that today!
How sad

think of the joke songs that are probably making their way round the net already . . .

Yurtgirl - so when were you expecting it then?

Now says he could be in a coma on sky.

BBC have just said he's in a coma, not dead.

Sky news now reporting that he is in a coma not dead. Again citing a secondary source (a US newspaper)

The BBC site is still saying he's not dead.

LA Times now saying he is in coma...

Hasn't he been pronounced dead? Which isn't necessarily the same?

Breaking news now that he's in a coma not dead

oh crikey, one minute he is dead, now he is alive again. who on earth do we believe??

agree that the jokes will begin in earnest...

Needanewname - he was/is only 50 - not to be expected that he would die just yet
