Michael Jackson died suddenly Thursday after suffering what doctors suspect was sudden cardiac arrest at his home. He was 50 years old. An autopsy is scheduled to be performed today in Los Angeles. It could be some time before a final cause of death is determined because toxicology tests take weeks to complete. In the meantime, people all over the world are mourning the King of Pop's passing.
Paramedics were called to the scene about 12:30 pm and found that he had no pulse. He was taken to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles where his family began to gather. He was rehearsing for an upcoming concert at the time of his death.
Stunned crowds began assembling at the hospital where Jackson was taken as soon as they heard the news.
Michael Jackson had a history of health problems dating back to 1983 when his scalp was burned while filming a Pepsi commercial. It was that injury that was said to have led to an addition to painkillers. He was hospitalized in 1993 with chest pains and postponed a concert tour that year due to dehydration. There were rumors about health issues affecting rehearsals for his upcoming tour.
