Michael Jackson passing away would be a total shock cause that's something you'd never expect.

And it looks like he did die.

I remember a joke from back when he was in his "Thriller" days, a comedian said that if the world came to an end, the headline would read "Michael Jackson and 6 billion others dead".

It has not yet been confirmed. Just TMZ reported.

[Aethian]

It's been confirmed here. At age 50, MJ has passed away due to a heart attack.

[JoitheArtist]

confirmed here.

If you're on Twitter, best news source is www.twitter.com/Breakingnews They report very very quickly, but always confirm first.

[Greenday]

It's on all the major news networks. He's gone.

[KiaKat]

CNN.com, MSNBC.com and FoxNews.com haven't updated yet.

Everyone else is quoting TMZ. And they are *not* the most reliable source.

Any other sources? Links, please.

I was just on CNN, and they're saying he's lapsed into a coma.

[McGoddess09]

CNN just reported that he is in a coma, not dead. It was confirmed by multiple sources.

[KiaKat]

Per LATimes, he's passed.

Everyone else is saying coma.

[McGoddess09]

Ok. Now they admit he died.

[Rine]

WOW, I can't believe it at all!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Two cultural icons (maybe) dead in one day.

I know I used to joke about Jacko. Now I'm just sad. 62 and 50 are way too young to die.

Yeah it feels surreal for me going into my mid-30's and seeing all these famous people that I grew up knowing very well moving on. Makes me wonder how much closer my end is coming.
