Michael Jackson im Koma oder 'gar tot!

[bigbean]

Entertainer Michael Jackson is in a coma after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, sources briefed on the situation told CNN. Paramedics needed to revive Jackson before taking him to the hospital, sources said. Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in west Los Angeles Thursday morning.

Machs gut, Michael!

Toller Musiker, großes Talent, viele gute Songs.
Leider ist er nie mit den Zwängen der Öffentlichkeit und seinen eigenen zurechtgekommen. Eine Tragödie.

Der überraschende Tod des Pop-Idols Michael Jackson hat im Internet ein enormes Echo hervorgerufen und damit unter anderem Wikipedia an den Rand ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit gebracht. Die Welle hatte bereits ihren Ursprung im Internet genommen: So berichtete die amerikanische Promi-Klatsch-Seite TMZ am gestrigen Nachmittag (Ortszeit Westküste USA) als erstes Medium darüber, dass der als "King of Pop" bekannte Sänger einen Herzanfall erlitten habe. Um 14:44 Uhr Ortszeit war auf der Online-Seite dann zu lesen, dass Jackson verstorben sei. Nach einem Bericht von CNet zögerten die traditionellen US-amerikanischen Medien im Hinblick auf die Quelle jedoch zunächst, die Meldung zu übernehmen.

Die Verunsicherung über den Zustand des Sängers war es auch, die eine große Twitter-Welle ins Rollen brachte, auf die später zahllose Beileidsbekundungen der Jackson-Fans folgten. Laut Ethan Zuckerman vom Berkman Center for Internet and Society an der Harvard University beschäftigten sich zu Spitzenzeiten 15 Prozent aller Twitter-Beiträge mit dem Thema Michael Jackson. Das klingt zunächst nach wenig, jedoch stellt Zuckerman auch fest, dass Tweets über die Proteste im Iran und die Auslassungen zur Schweinegrippe nach seinen Messungen niemals die 5-Prozent-Marke überschritten. Auch Biz Stone, einer der Erfinder des Microblogs, zeigte sich vom Nachrichtenaufkommen nach Jacksons Tod überrascht. Nach übereinstimmenden Berichten mehrerer Anwender war Twitter nach der Veröffentlichung der ersten Meldungen über Jacksons Herzinfakt für kurze Zeit sogar überhaupt nicht mehr erreichbar.

Laut CNet ist die freie Online-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia ebenfalls unter der Last kurzzeitig zusammengebrochen, nachdem ein Teil der Anwender den Jacksons Wikipedia-Eintrag um die Angaben zu seinem Todes ergänzt hätten, während ein anderer Teil der Nutzer eben diese Änderungen als unbewiesen kennzeichnen wollte. Schließlich sei nur noch eine Fehlermeldung zu lesen gewesen. [Update: Ein Protokoll des betreffenden Ereignisses ist im Wikimedia TechicalBlog zu finden]. Auch der Webserver der Los Angeles Times brach nach Angaben des Tageszeitung unter dem Ansturm kurzzeitig zusammen.

Da es noch einige Tage dauern wird, bis der Gerichtsmediziner das Ergebnis der angeordneten Obduktion bekannt gibt, stürzen sich die internationalen Medien derzeit auf jede Regung der Prominenz im Zusammenhang mit dem Tod von Michael Jackson – auch, wenn diese nur aus einer Mitteilung auf Twitter besteht. Zu den Bekanntheiten, die auf diesem Wege ihrer Bestürzung zum Tod des Sängers Ausdruck verliehen haben, gehören unter anderem der Gouverneur Kaliforniens Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sänger P. Diddy, Moderatorin Ellen DeGeneres und Großbritanniens Außenminister David Miliband. Schauspieler Ashton Kutcher rief in seinem Microblog die Presse dazu auf, die Privatsphäre der Kinder von Michael Jackson zu respektieren.

[Update]:
Das britische Außenministerium hat mittlerweile bekanntgegeben, dass sich David Miliband nicht zum Tod von Michael Jackson geäußert habe. Bei der entsprechenden Twitter-Meldung handele es sich um eine Fälschung.

Lisa Marie Presley hat auf ihrer MySpace-Seite sehr persönliche Gedanken geäußert:

He Knew.

Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.

I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.

At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.

14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.

A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.

The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.

All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.

I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.

I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.

His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.

At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.

He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.

When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.

Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions.

I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.

I was in over my head while trying.

I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.

The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.

Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.

At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.

He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.

I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.

He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.

I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.

The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.





I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.
