In Memoriam: Michael Jackson

RIP – Michael Jackson

With shock and grief, stricken Michael Jackson fans from all around the globe are sadden by the untimely and unexpected death of the King of Pop. Jackson, 50 year-old, was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center

hospital, approximately a six-minute drive from his Bel-Air home, shortly after noon local time by paramedics for the Los Angeles Fire Department. Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 pm.

Autopsy is currently underway in Los Angeles to determine the cause of the mysterious death of Michael Jackson.

Yesterday, Jackson’s brother, Jermaine said that the preliminary cause of death was cardiac arrest.

because of Mr. Jackson’s enormous celebrity, a police spokesman said, and detectives began their search of Mr. Jackson’s house Thursday. CNN showed a BMW being toll from the estate of the Pop Star. The BMW is said to belong to Jackson’s personal doctor who is sorted by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). A spokesman for the LAPD made it clear that they are doing a standard death investigation and not a criminal investigation.

Speaking on CBS’ Early Show on Thursday, Brian Oxman, a former lawyer of Mr. Jackson’s and a family friend, expressed his concerns about Mr. Jackson’s health, and saying that prescription drugs might have been a factor in his death. He also added, "I do not want to point fingers at anyone because I want to hear what the toxicology report says and the coroner says. But the plain fact of the matter is that Michael Jackson had prescription drugs at his disposal at all times.”

Just as every human being on this earth, Mr. Jackson had an assignment from the Most Highest. Once that assignment is accomplished, he had to exit the stage. Michael Jackson has left the stage but his legacy continues.

RIP Micheal – You will be missed!
