Michael Jackson, 50, died due to cardiac arrest inside of his home earlier this afternoon. The staff found him and called the paramedics, but he was dead by the time they got there.

Update: MSNBC recently mentioned this about today’s shocking news:
“So many people wanted to verify the early reports of Jackson’s death that the computers running Google’s news section interpreted the fusillade of “Michael Jackson” requests as an automated attack for about half an hour Thursday evening.”
