Michael Jackson Is Dead

So, everyone knows it. The King of Pop is dead. He was found on the floor in his house in Beverly Hills and not breathing when an ambulance was called and has taken him to UCLA Hospital where doctors tried to resuscitate him for an hour before he was pronounced dead at 2:26pm local time.

His oldest brother Jermaine Jackson had to release the news to the press which was obviously extremely hard for him to do, and requested that people respect the families privacy during this time of hardship.

Many millions of people around the world who both idolised and respected Michael Jackson are mourning his death and the next few weeks will be very hard for them to deal with. I myself am saddened by his death and will pay my respects to him.
