Emergency Workers Felt Jackson Dead at Scene

Posted Jun 26th 2009 12:45PM by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson Dead at the sceneWhen EMTs arrived at Michael Jackson's home yesterday, the medics wanted to pronounce him dead on the scene -- but Michael's personal doctor refused to let them "call it" -- this according to sources close to the situation.

When EMTs arrived there was evidence someone had been performing CPR on Michael for "quite some time." There was evidence of Lidocaine -- an old-school drug that can be used to treat disturbances in the heart's rhythm. Medics took over performing CPR but determined Jackson was lifeless -- and wanted to call the coroner to pick up the body.

We're told Jackson was flat-lined when EMTs arrived.

But our sources say M.J.'s doc demanded EMTs continue performing CPR anyway, and demanded that they take Michael to the hospital.

Once they arrived at UCLA, we're told Jackson's doc continued to personally administer CPR -- even though it was clear Jackson was already gone.

31. The biggest shocker about MJ dying was that MTV which use to stand for Music Television actually played videos, albeit few were full length. These days MTV stands for Mush Television....

33. sounds like the Doc administered the Demerol and Michael began to react badly,
at that point the Doc probably knew what he had done, in a panic he performed CPR to revive him but by that time he was already dead. he most likely refused to call 911 ahead of time for fear that they might of thought he was the one responsible for Mke's death,

and look now the bastard's nowhere to be found

37. Sure the doctor demanded them to try to continue CPR. He may have been injected with too much Demarol, and then there's evidence of Lidocaine..which sounds like the doc may have played a large part in his death. Who is this doctor because he's up the creek without a paddle..

38. Too bad this doctor didnt have the antidote to opiates, narcan. If he did, Jacko would not have died.

40. I have a feeling all of this "bizarre" health behavior, esp. with the home physician occured a million times over. I have a true feeling that his personal doctor gave him too much, tried to resuscitate him and if he had, we wouldn't have known about any of this. But instead, it is being cooked up to look like a "SUDDEN" cardiac arrest.

42. I grew up with this guy. He is brilliant. Watching him on American Bandstand and Ed Sullivan seems like yesterday.He' s
larger than life. The small-minded people who tried so hard to ruin him will never get it. Never understand what an astronomical and positive impact he had.Just get this: No one else compares or will compare in this lifetime.

43. well i think the doctor is a sick guy why would anyone do that to a legend and someone as lovely as Micheal the way i feel its like losing a family member. x

44. I heard that there is a deal in the works with Leggo.
As Jackson is 90% plastic, the family wants to recyle him by turning him into leggo blocks so little boys can play with him for a change.

45. The doctor won't go to jail. He'll hire Mark Geragos and get off scot free.
