911 Caller: Jackson "Not Breathing"
911 Caller: Jackson "Not Breathing" - CBS News

A 911 caller seeking help for Michael Jackson told an emergency operator that only a personal physician had seen what happened, and an ambulance was urgently needed because resuscitation efforts weren't working.

The Los Angeles Fire Department on Friday released a redacted audio recording of the call made Thursday by a person who only referred to Jackson as a 50-year-old man. It appeared that a mention of the phone number was deleted from the recording.

"I need an ambulance as soon as possible, sir," the caller said urgently but politely. "We have a gentlemen here that needs help and he's not breathing yet. He's not breathing and we need to - we're trying to pump him, but he's not, he's not."

The caller reported that Jackson was on a bed and the emergency operator began to instruct him to do CPR, but stopped when the caller said that the personal physician was there.

"Oh, OK. We're on our way there. If your guy is doing CPR and you're instructed by a doctor, he's a higher authority than me. And he's on the scene," the 911 operator said.

The operator asked if anyone witnessed what happened.

"No, just the doctor, sir, the doctor was the only one there," the caller said.

"Did he see what happened?" the operator asked.

"Doctor, did you see what happened, sir?" the caller asked someone in the room. Only an urgent mumbling can be heard on the recording.

"We're on our way. It's less than a mile away from Cedars," the operator said, referring to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Paramedics, however, took Jackson to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

That's ok. No clue.


On Mike Jackson and his previous run-ins with his behavior and etc. Even if he did such a thing, why can't he just be remembered for the pop he made?

Without that music, I'd bet there would be less marriages, relationships, lovemaking and all that jazz. So Jackson does play a major role in everyday life regardless of his private (personal) behavior.

Leave it to your own opinion if he's a smooth criminal.. but find solitude in the fact that his music changed the world. *Cough* We are the world.

Obama Offers Condolences To Jackson Family
Obama Offers Condolences To Jackson Family - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters this afternoon that President Obama sees Michael Jackson as "a spectacular performer, a music icon" who nonetheless had "aspects of his life [that] were sad and tragic."

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports that Gibbs said Mr. Obama offered his condolences to the Jackson family and to fans who are mourning the pop star's death.

Gibbs said that the president relayed to him that "everybody remembers hearing his songs, watching -- watching him moon walk on television during Motown's 25th anniversary."

The president has not spoken on or issued a statement concerning Jackson's death.

Gibbs said he did not believe Mr. Obama ever met Jackson personally.

Jackson Autopsy Under Way In L.A.
Jackson Autopsy Under Way In L.A. - CBS News

Police towed the car of a doctor from Michael Jackson's home Friday and said it could contain drugs or other evidence offering clues in the pop star's death.

Los Angeles police spokeswoman Karen Rayner said coroner's investigators were seeking to interview the doctor. She stressed the doctor was not under criminal investigation.

TMZ.com reported later that Dr. Conrad Murray, who was with Jackson when he collapsed, is now in Los Angeles preparing to speak with law enforcement officials.

"His car was impounded because it may contain medications or other evidence that may assist the coroner in determining the cause of death," Rayner said.

The autopsy began Friday morning and was expected to last several hours. An official determination on cause of death was not expected for weeks or longer, until more sophisticated tests are completed.

In an emergency call released by fire officials, a caller reports Jackson was on a bed and not breathing or responding to resuscitation efforts. The unidentified caller said Jackson only was with his personal doctor at the time. The pop star died later Thursday afternoon at University of California Los Angeles Medical Center.

Four months ago, Jackson was apparently examined for insurance purposes for his upcoming tour.

A family attorney's comments Thursday pointed toward a problem with prescription drugs.

"I have warned of the use of prescription medication and people who have enabled the use of those medications," Brian Oxman, the family attorney, told CBS News anchor Harry Smith (see video below). "I do not know how much he has taken, I don't know what his current situation is in the last couple of weeks. Over the last several years I have said to family members that he is overmedicated."

A report on the entertainment Web site TMZ.com says Jackson family members feared a "heavy dose of morphine" prior to his death caused an overdose.

Oxman claimed Jackson had prescription drugs at his disposal to help with pain suffered when he broke his leg after he fell off a stage and for broken vertebrae in his back.

Jackson died Thursday afternoon at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him for three-quarter of an hours there before rushing him to the hospital.

His brother Jermaine said Jackson apparently suffered cardiac arrest, an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems.

Jackson was preparing for a monster comeback bid - a series of 50 concerts that was to begin next month in London.

A handful of bleary-eyed fans camped out throughout the night with media outside the Jackson family house in the San Fernando Valley and near his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. People heading to work in New York stopped to pay respects outside Harlem's Apollo Theater, where Jackson performed as a child.

Speaking about the media frenzy and the next stage in this unfolding event, Jackson friend and fellow entertainer Liza Minnelli told CBS' The Early Show, "All those who knew him well really know what he was like, and I'm sure that now the accolades are going and I'm sure when the autopsy comes, all hell's going to break loose."

Minelli didn't elaborate on what she meant by that.

BET Awards to pay tribute to Jackson
BET Awards to pay tribute to Jackson - CNN.com

In 2003, the BET Awards had a priceless moment when Michael Jackson surprised his idol, James Brown, by showing up on stage where the duo thrilled the audience with an electrifying performance.

Now, both the King of Pop and the Godfather of Soul are gone.

Sunday night's 9th Annual BET Awards is sure to be filled with tributes to Jackson, whose videos and performances were a staple for the network in his heyday. BET has already paid tribute to the singer, going wall-to-wall with Jackson videos Thursday night.

Many of the celebrities scheduled to attend the show were also fans of the singer and it is expected that the night will provide an opportunity for them to salute the star.

"Words cannot capture the impact Michael Jackson has had on pop culture around the world," said Debra L. Lee, chairman and chief executive officer of BET Networks. "He changed the way we hear and feel and move to music; he epitomized what true musical talent and star power really mean. He is and always will be the King of Pop."

Academy Award-winning actor and R&B singer Jamie Foxx is set to host the show.

Several of the scheduled performers include artists, such as Ne-Yo and Beyonce, who have acknowledged the influence of Jackson on their music and careers.

The annual event is a premier one for the network and this year's plan was to recognize the musical legacy and longstanding career of the legendary soul trio, the O'Jays, with the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Artists Alicia Keys and Wyclef Jean are to be honored with the Humanitarian Award for their respective charitable work.

BET CEO Lee said Sunday's show will be dedicated to Jackson and will also pay tribute to his legacy.

Lee reflected on Jackson's career and his importance to BET -- which stands for Black Entertainment Television -- in a prepared statement after his death, while also offering heartfelt prayers for the singer's family and friends.

"Michael's influence is felt every day in so many ways at BET Networks, and it's been that way throughout our network's entire 29-year history," she said. "We watched him grow up and, like everyone around the world, he feels like he is a member of our family.

"He will be missed more than we can say ... but his legend and memory live on in the artists, musicians, producers, dancers, fans and everyone else who looks to him for inspiration."

The BET Awards is scheduled to run live on the cable network Sunday at 8 p.m.

His songs-Beat it

They told him don't you ever come around here

His songs-Thriller

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl!
But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a
Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow!

(I'm gonna thrill ya tonight)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood

I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, ooh baby
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, oh darlin'
Thriller night, baby, ooh!

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
 
His songs-Billie Jean

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Depends on how broke I was? :roll: I dunno. Hard to put myself in a parental role. Maybe people choose to move on, or, perhaps, they don't feel the need to debate this issue with you. There are many that think all the stories are fabricated. I think there is something there, but I never saw enough evidence, nor did a jury. This whole thing is the death of a musician. People will mourn, regardless.

Well said.

All I can say about the speculation surrounding MJ's guilt over the child molestion -- he was acquitted of all charges -- but it doesn't mean he wasn't guilty. I'm not saying he was. It's all speculation and there are 3 sides to every story -- 2 of them belonging to the parties involved (Michael Jackson and the accusor), and the one being the actual truth. And since we don't know for sure, I don't think we should tar him with the same brush that has been painted on those we KNOW to be guilty.

Another well stated post.
 
MJ death as predicted

Interesting comment from MJ's ex wife, daughter of Elvis Presley, said that MJ actually predict his own death, and the cause. She divorced MJ out of fear on repeating Dad's death.


Presley: Jackson knew his fate - CNN.com

As of right now, drug interaction is suspected possible cause of death, toxicology. The result will come out within 8 weeks from today.
 
Demerol stopped his heart.

I never heard of Demerol before.

Demerol is a painkiller similar to morphine.
 
All I can say is - Rest In Peace, Micheal.

As for his ups and downs - Granted, He's an icon to the pop. He's had it all and made it big.

When it comes to all about the speculations he's had - I think I would rather remember him from the better time when his "Thriller" was a major hit for his career. Not because of the lowest point of his life with being in the paparazzi's eyes.

Now, again, would you want to leave your kid along with other kids (all boys) with Jackson for a sleepover? Yes or no? I wouldn't. Would you?

A non-answer or no reply pretty much proves on what the answer would be. Just don't say anything and we'll take that as a "No".:cool2:

By the way, autopsy is today, I believe.

You should ask that to boy´s mother why she allowed him to stay at Michael J´s place overnight, not us.

I beleive that the boy´s mother only use boy to make scandal for money. Michael helped boy´s mother with the cost of cancer surgery.

Lisa Presley and Debbie Rowe who were married to him and never have sex with him because it doesn´t work on him.

I personally beleive the mother of a boy only want MJ´s money.


Michael, you have my support and R.I.P.


 
Michael, Rest in peace and your music, dance styles etc will never be forgotten.

Boy described the splotches and markings on MJ's wee wee very, very accurately as well as describing his pubic hair to the police. How is this possible for this boy to know this?

Answer: MJ exposed his wee wee to this boy in the first place.

Don't be blind. It's all in the court document. No wonder MJ wanted settled for $20+ million dollars.

*sigh* :roll:
