| Monday, June 25: Third Anniversary of the Death of Michael Jackson |
"King of Pop" Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 50. The Los Angeles Fire Department was called to Jackson's residence at 12:26 p.m. Paramedics performed CPR on Jackson, who was not breathing when they arrived at his home. He was rushed to LA Medical Center, just six miles from his home. Last year, a jury convicted Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray of involuntary manslaughter in the 2009 drug-overdose death of the King of Pop. Prosecutors alleged that Murray supplied an insomnia-plagued Jackson with the powerful operating-room anesthetic propofol to help him sleep as he rehearsed for his "This Is It" comeback tour.
