Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died suddenly today. Just after 2pm today, he was rushed to the hospital, suffering from cardiac arrest. He was 50.

Regardless of how the past few years have marred his reputation, this is still a tragedy. He truly was an icon. He was about to launch a huge comeback tour, which could have lead to a world-wide, 3 year tour, which would have thrust him back to the success he once enjoyed.

Rest in peace.

31 months ago: This is very sad. Although he was a strange man, he was still an amazing artist. Almost everyone can say they know, and enjoy, at least one of his songs, and that is a huge accomplishment.

I guess this completes the current trifecta.

31 months ago: Life & Style reports that Michael Jackson was taking a cocktail of up to seven prescription drugs in the months before his death.

And a Jackson family lawyer told CNN he "feared" the drugs could kill the pop star.

The star had been taking prescription painkillers including anti-anxiety drugs Xanax, Zoloft and painkiller Demerol in recent months, sources close to Jackson told Life & Style. The insider close to the star said he took a suspected overdose of drugs on Thursday morning, which caused respiratory and cardiac arrest.

Jackson family lawyer Brian Oxman confirmed Jackson may have had trouble with prescription drugs as he prepared for his London show.

"This was something which I feared and something which I warned about," Oxman said on CNN. "I can tell you for sure that this is something I warned about. Where there is smoke there is fire."

Mr Oxman compared Michael to Anna Nicole Smith, alleging that Michael had 'enablers' just like her.

31 months ago: Michael Jackson will probably be remembered as the strangest celebrity of the 20th century. He was both a musical genius and a terribly messed up human being. I weill always remember him fondly, for his contribution to the world of music, particular as an inspiration for many great parodies by Weird Al Yankovic. RIP

Go to a reliable news source and you'll see that COD is still under investigation, but that foul play is not likely.
