A desperate man told an emergency responder Michael Jackson was unconscious and had stopped breathing in a dramatic 911 call made from the King of Pop’s home.

The unidentified caller told the operator Jackson’s personal doctor – named in reports as Dr Conrad Murray – was on the scene and was the only witness to the incident.

In the tape, released a day after Jackson’s death, the man says: “I need an ambulance as soon as possible. We have a gentleman here who needs help and who is not breathing and we’re trying to pump him but he’s not…

In the call, made at 12.21pm local time on Wednesday, he tells the operator: “Yes, he’s not breathing sir.”

Asked if Jackson was conscious, he replies: “No, he’s not conscious.”

He says Jackson is on a bed and is told to put him on the floor for CPR.

The man says: “We have a personal doctor here with him.”

But he adds: “He’s not responding to anything. He’s not responding to CPR or anything.”

The operator asks if anyone saw what happened to Jackson and the man replies: “No, just the doctor. The doctor’s been the only one here.”

The operator asks: “OK, so did the doctor see what happened?”

The man is then heard asking the doctor: “Did you see what happened?”

There is some background noise before the man urges the operator: “Sir, please, if you can please….”

He tells the operator: “He’s pumping, pumping his chest but he’s not responding to anything.”

The operator reassures him: “OK, we’re on our way.”

Katy Perry’s flu cure

Posted in Katy Perry by Amanda @ Jun 26, 2009

It appears that the singer has managed to find a personal cure for this age-old disease that has been plaguing mankind for millennia. After falling ill in Milan, Italy during her tour, the singer apparently managed to make herself feel better, interpret this as you may, by bathing and eating pizza. Altruistic by nature, Katy Perry decided to share this with the rest of the world by posting a picture of herself in those circumstances on twitter and accompanying it with the following post: “Why is it that after not eating for three days all i can think of is food… food is smiling at me… luring me with sexual seduction” Yep… you have to watch out for those seducing pizzas… they’re deadly when left to play their game!

Michael Jackson’s distraught sister La Toya ‘ran into hospital screaming’

Michael Jackson’s sister La Toya was seen running into UCLA Medical Centre screaming “oh my God”, it is claimed.

Michael passed away aged 50 after a reported heart attack at his home in LA.

An onlooker said: “She looked devastated and just broke down. It was really sad to see her as she put her head in her hands. She and Michael were very close indeed and regularly spoke on the phone. It really is tragic news and you have to feel for the whole family.”

Michael had been gearing up to perform 50 dates at London’s O2 Arena and a source claims the star was “overdoing things” as he struggled to train for the shows.

A source said: “He had been so frail, both physically and emotionally. Many warned he was pushing too hard and overdoing things, but he wanted to get back to work so badly. He kept pushing himself harder and harder. He didn’t want to let down his fans, and he desperately needed the cash.”

Michael Jackson’s attorney says he warned his entire family of his life-threatening use of painkillers

Michael Jackson’s attorney says he warned his entire family that one day the superstar could “wake up dead” because of his life-threatening use of painkillers.

Brian Oxman, Jackson family attorney, said he voiced grave fears that the King of Pop could suffer the same fate as tragic Playboy model Anna Nicola Smith, who died from overdosing on prescription drugs in 2007.

“I said to them (his family members) that if this situation arises where Michael Jackson perishes because of medications – my words were that if one day he wakes up and he’s dead because of these medications – I will not hold my tongue, I will speak out and I will speak out loud.

“I had warned everyone. I said one day, we’re going to have this experience. And when Anna Nicole Smith passed away, I said we cannot have this kind of thing with Michael Jackson.

“I don’t know what caused his death, but I feared this day and here we are.”

Oxman said Jackson’s use of painkillers started back in 1984 after his hair accidentally set alight while filming a TV commercial.

“It caused him such pain, he didn’t like to feel discomfort so he started taking pain medications then.

“He also fell off a stage and cracked a vertebrae in his back, and he also broke his leg.

“Those two things were constant sources of pain, they made him fall down it was so painful and he took the medications because of that pain. It became part of his life.”

The 50-year-old musical superstar died on Thursday, just as he was preparing for a series of 50 concerts starting July 13 at London’s 02 arena.
