Michael Jackson dead before EMTs arrived
It looks like Michael Jackson was actually dead in that final photo I posted of him earlier this morning. According to TMZ (now with 401k plan! and paid vacation), EMTs wanted to pronounce him dead on the scene, but Michael's personal doctor insisted that they take him to the hospital:
When EMTs arrived there was evidence someone had been performing CPR on Michael for "quite some time." There was evidence of Lidocaine -- an old-school drug that can be used to treat disturbances in the heart's rhythm. Medics took over performing CPR but determined Jackson was lifeless -- and wanted to call the coroner to pick up the body.You know what's weird? Just replace the words "Michael Jackson" with "Lindsay Lohan's career" and that story still makes complete sense.
We're told Jackson was flat-lined when EMTs arrived. But our sources say M.J.'s doc demanded EMTs continue performing CPR anyway, and demanded that they take Michael to the hospital.
Once they arrived at UCLA, we're told Jackson's doc continued to personally administer CPR -- even though it was clear Jackson was already gone.

I think the "doctor" has vanished. The plot thickens...oh yeah, a Shout Out to Lindsay.
This is a really sad story. Any idea of how Bubbles is handling this? He must be feeling miserable when he's not throwing poop.
I really didn't need to see that photo.
I always thought lidocaine was a local anesthetic...
they should have taken him to the childrens hospital instead.
MJ,you are not alone
