He was transported to the hospital from his Holmby Hills home by paramedics who performed CPR and reported that Jackson didn't have pulse. The major news sources haven't yet confirmed that Jackson is indeed dead so I'll update you as details come in.
It's a sad day in Hollywood.

Michael Jackson: A Rose By Any Other Name…
The world is plagued by many troubling events; nonetheless, the world chooses to focus on Michael Jackson. That in itself should convince us of just how important Michael Jackson was/is to humanity. It can only serve as a tribute of the highest magnitude. The world knew Michael as a “gentle soul.” However, in predatory circles (in a Darwinian sense), those two words are a signpost of weakness and an open invitation to exploitation. By stark contrast, a global consensus believes that nothing could be further from the truth. Michael’s strength of character came from his personal convictions; he believed in the humane mechanisms that which cause our world to turn, social justice, diversity and peace. Michael was a true Chomskyite! Nobody knew that. [NOTE: A Chomskyite - named after MIT icon and globally renowned intellectual Noam Avram Chomsky - is an individual who brings balance to the human condition.] Michael’s songs were filled with messages of hope and balance, utilizing powerful lyrics and harrowing images. Case in point: “Earth Song.” Watch it. Listen to it. Then, watch it again. One begins to understand what Michael was about. Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song,” “Man In The Mirror,” “Heal The World, ” “Black Or White” and “We Are The World (co-written with Lionel Richie)” are on point. Let the world continue to celebrate what Michael was and let it never endorse any momentary lapses of reason by entertaining America’s new climate of fear, where unfounded allegations, urban mythologies and phantasmagorical notions prey upon our collective or individual conscience. Allow “we the people” to commit to Michael Jackson’s memory/legacy by NOT falling into the counterproductive abyss of facts don’t matter; perception is reality. Let the world pedestalize Michael Jackson as the icon he really was; his lifelong commitment to people and performance excellence warrants nothing less from us. In Michael’s passing, the world remains plagued by troubling events. Those too should come to pass. However, let us not rely on time as the remedy or solution; instead, relying upon “we the people” to make a difference. Michael Jackson made a difference, now it’s your turn.
