I just heard the coma report. Huffington reported he wasn't breathing when paramedics arrived, and was pronounced dead. They didn't say who pronounced it. If he is alive, he has a huge comeback awaiting. They just discussed a 50 concert tour on NPR's All Things Considered.

CNN, ABCnews.com and AP are all saying variations on "rushed to LA hospital with cardiac arrest". TV (NBC?) is sayings he's dead.

Strange Mudcat members are reporting his death knows before CNN. CNN is live on scene and reporting that he has been hospitalized. They are not announcing his death.

He was at his peak when he did the Thriller album and videos, but he did seem to be a very troubled person. May he finally rest in peace.

I was never a fan, and I can't say I'll miss him much. He was SERIOUSLY weird, if not an actual molester.

Farrah is a greater loss.
