//Pop Music Icon Michael Jackson Dies At 50//

Michael Jackson, arguably the greatest entertainer in music of all time, has died. He was 50 years old.

Several media outlets, including the LA Times citing city and law enforcement sources, confirm he was pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center this afternoon.

Jackson was rushed to the hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department Paramedics after suffering cardiac arrest in his Bel Air home.

TMZ, who was first to report Jackson’s death, earlier reported that en route to the hospital CPR was performed in the ambulance, while The Times reports he arrived to the emergency room “in a deep coma.”

There is no word on what caused the cardiac arrest, but the icon had been rumored to be in declining health for years.

Jackson is survived by his three children: sons Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. and Prince Michael Jackson, and daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson.
