Status messages of my friends on facebook have revealed to me that pop legend Michael jackspon is ‘perhaps’ dead.
According to reports, Jackson suffered a heart attack at his Beverly Hills home in Los Angeles and was rushed to UCLA hospital. Apparently his breathing had stopped.
While the LA times inititally claimed that MJ was in coma, it later reported to have quoted doctors as saying that he is now dead. British television channel SKY news also confirmed that the star had died. But BBC refused to confirm whether Michael Jackson had died or not till it got any such intimation from his family or the doctors treating him.
So while the majority of the media now believes Jackson is dead, the BBC is creating hopes in the hearts of fans that all may not be lost, yet. However they are reporting that ‘other news organisatons’ have reported Jackson to have left his mortal coil.
MJ was given CPR and treated in the ambulance while on the way to hospital. Even as I write I’m listening to the BBC live, who say that crowds have started thronging the hospital and the star’s Beverly Hills mansion.
The BBC confirmed at 11:44pm BST that Michael Jackson is indeed dead. A great loss for the music industry.
