Michael Jackson, the onetime child star turned King of Pop, died in Los Angeles on 25 th June
2009, Thursday afternoon after he stopped breathing in his home and was rushed
to the UCLA Medical Center. He was 50 years old.
On Thursday afternoon, Jackson collapsed in his home and was unresponsive
when paramedics arrived, according to reports. Paramedics performed CPR, and
Jackson was seen with an oxygen mask over his face being hauled on a stretcher
to an ambulance, which took him to the hospital just minutes away.
The seventh of nine children of Joseph and Katherine Jackson, Michael was born
in Gray, Indiana, on Aug. 29, 1958, and began his career performing with his
brothers. His professional debut with the Jackson 5 came at age 11.
In August 1994, Jackson and the daughter of the late rock icon Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie
Presley, were married and very soon split up. After their 1996 divorce, Jackson
married Debbie Rowe, a nurse in the office of one of his doctors. Two children were
born to the couple through artificial insemination: son Prince Michael Jackson, in
1997, and daughter Paris Michael Jackson, in 1998. Jackson later had a third child,
Prince Michael Jackson II (nicknamed "Blanket").
Known as the "King of Pop," for hits that included "Thriller" and "Billie Jean,"
Jackson's dramatic stage presence and innovative dance moves were imitated by
legions of fans around the world.
His one-gloved eccentric style also earned him plenty of critics and another nickname,
"Wacko Jacko."
