Investigation


Los Angeles police have launched an investigation into the sudden death of pop superstar Michael Jackson, who died yesterday aged 50. Despite officially acknowledging that there was “no evidence of criminal wrongdoing”, officers from LAPD’s homicide division are leading an inquiry into Michael Jackson's demise.

His friends, family and associates are to be interrogated by detectives, and the city coroner will conduct a formal inquest. Jackson was reported to have collapsed at his suburban home at lunchtime and was rushed to the Ronald Regan emergency room at UCLA hospital where he suffered a cardiac arrest. The actual cause of death is, however not known.

According to the Los Angeles Times his personal doctor – who happened to be with him at home at the time - tried to resuscitate the star while awaiting the arrival of the paramedics. His brother, Jermaine Jackson, praised the rescue team and said they and the doctor had made “heroic efforts” to save Michael. "A team of highly skilled doctors, including emergency physicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him [at the hospital] for a period of more than one hour, but were unsuccessful," he said.

Jackson was in full cardiac arrest when rescue units arrived at his home, according to a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman. His body was taken by helicopter to the coroner’s office late.
