TMZ.com entertainment website said Jackson had suffered a cardiac arrest but the singer's father Joe Jackson was unable to confirm details when contacted by E! Online celebrity news site.

Jackson's manager Tohme E. Tohme was not immediately available for comment at his office after being contacted by AFP.

Wow! I'm shocked! I loved some of his music.

I'm waiting for People or E! to confirm the news.

None of the major outlets are confirming it, they are just speculating.... but tmz.com is saying Michael Jackson has died in Los Angeles at the age of 50 following cardiac arrest this afternoon..... OMG!

Sorry, didn't see this I just created a thread in the off topic forum. I am in shock..... but at the same time not really. He has been in rough shape for several years now in terms of his health.... if it is true..... we have lost a legend today.

I liked a lot of his earlier stuff, and I'm sad for his family and friends. I'm shocked. RIP.

E! just interrupted and confirmed the death.

TMZ is very reliable when it comes to breaking news. I don't think they would've posted it if it weren't true.

This is going to be like Elvis and Princess Di. The World has lost one of its most well known people. It's going to get pretty crazy once it is officially confirmed. I am starting to feel sad I've grown up with his music, and despite all of his other problems he is one of the most talented people to ever live on this earth.

Wow, like they always say...things like this happen in threes:

Ed McMahon

Farah Fawcett

Michael Jackson

May you all rest in peace!

WTF.

RIP Michael Jackson

That's how I feel. I grew up listening to his music and used to sing/listen to some of his songs over and over.

LOL, Michael Jackson was my first concert. I went to one of the shows for his 'Bad' tour when I was 5.

Never liked him, although always appreciated his Thriller achievements.

May he rest in piece if this is true.

May he RIP. WOW, I'm still SHOCKED!!!
