Rare Photos of Michael Jackson. He left us with many great memories of his music and dance. Michael Jackson - We Will Remember You. It appears that Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that paramedics were called to Jacksons rented Holmby Hills home after a call to 911 reported a man who was not breathing, and that he later died of massive cardiac arrest. Paramedics at the scene performed CPR, but they may have arrived too late. According to Dr. Steven Nissen, chair of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, the window of opportunity emergency technicians have to revive those who suffer from a cardiac arrest is dangerously small—that is, assuming cardiac arrest was to blame. We asked Nissen, who has not treated Jackson, what could have precipitated Jacksons sudden, shocking death.

Some sources are citing cardiac arrest as the cause of Michael Jacksons death.
There are several types of arrest, though the most common is certainly cardiac. It is very, very common. A fact that many people dont know is that about a third of people who have a heart attack actually never make it to a hospital.

We do a great job of saving those that we actually get to a hospital alive. But many of them die outside the hospital. You have to get to the patient with a defibrillator within about four minutes to get a good outcome. [The Los Angeles Times reports that Jackson lived about six minutes from the hospital.] Between four and eight minutes things are a little bit questionable, and after eight minutes very, very few people will survive. And thats why defibrillators have been put in airports and so many public places. Generally, you cant get a paramedic crew to someone who is down that quickly. If you do good CPR, you can often extend that period some, but its still a problem of needing advanced life support—meaning paramedics with defibrillators, drugs, and so on—really within a few minutes or the outcome is generally not very good, which is what it sounds like it wasnt here.

Some people who have a sudden event like that will have something other than a cardiac arrest; theyll have a brain aneurysm that burst. We had a congresswoman here in Cleveland, a very wonderful person, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and that happened to her at age 50 or so. He is in the age group when sudden cardiac death is not uncommon. Its tragic. Weve seen this with other celebrities. Its not anything different from what happened to Tim Russert or any one of a number of other people, and its always a terrible tragedy when a person who is this young dies of a cardiac cause.
