KevinMD.com: How did Michael Jackson die, and the medicine behind sudden cardiac death

  • impactednurse · 6 months ago
    Very true, time to defibrillation and effective CPR is what will increase your survivability ( which is not so good). It will be interesting to see if this sad event leads to a drive for increased awareness in the use of CPR and automated defib amongst lay people. My understanding is that he recived no CPR until paramedics arrived

    Aren't you being a bit presumption assuming cocaine was linked to the tragedy? I haven't heard this as of yet.
  • cal orey · 6 months ago
    That's presumptious. It's late.

    its sad that the king of pop has died. but the question still remains, why did he die. i think it was because his heart gave out from all the paracetimoll he took to stop stresing about the shows. my heart goes out to his family and friends who are trying to cope with this tragidy

    About eight years ago I did a M&M conference discussing cardiac arrest. If you have all three of these

    1) Time without a pulse greater than 10 minutes after CPR
    2) Rhythm other than VT or VF
    3) Unwitnessed

    You're toast.

    I also left my opinions on his death last night.
  • Reality Rounds · 6 months ago
    I still say his main cause of death was mental illness which led to all the self destructive behavior. Maybe the media will give some attention to the life long consequences of child abuse, and how those effects can linger into adulthood. May he finally rest in peace.

    What can i say? life is hard now your gone. i thought that people were lying when they said you had died, but then i got home, and the news revealed the terrible truth. i am sad that you are gone, and life will never be the same, i only wish that had got to go to the O2 concert, my ticket sits, untouched. i will keep listening to your songs, and keep spreading your message. you have inspired me to sing and dance, and i hope that in the future i can be like you, even though i know i won't even be half of what you were. i'll be female Michael. haha.
    Know you can rest in peace, away from the press. hopefully the press will one day, rot in hell.
    i hope your death was sudden, so that you felt no pain, and that your transaction from this life to another was quick and painless.
    I love you Michael, hope to see you in my next life.

    Ps. your last rehearsal was fantastic! only wish you got to do the real thing.

    I have watched all of his interviews especially Living Life with Michael Jackson, and from what i have seen, he is just another big kid at heart. And that is all he will ever be. We will miss him all.
  • Tisha penn · 5 months ago
    Sometimes we have to take a look at what he have and cherish it before its to late.. Michael jackson you was loved by trillions and you will forever remain an icon... why would he hurt a child? If he was hurt as a child why would he inflick that kind of pain on a lil child. He was stressed out about how badly the media downed him. He never showed that painful side of him.. He reached out to the world to make it a better place for everyone. He lived his life and he enjoyed doing what he did. He's touched us all in so many different ways. Enough was enough how much can you continue to down someone that's doing so much good for us... I love you mike and I will forever remember you and love you. Its my time to pick up where you left off.. Its my time to heal the world one donation at a time. Life is too short to worry about what u can't change now is the time to change what you can... I love you mike the lord has open his doors for you and ur worries are over your hard work will live on but now you may rest worry free...

    MJ was a really great guy and nobody expected him to go so soon.He will always be in my heart and everybody else god bless him.I don't belive he died this way. People are saying different things about his death. My prayers and wishes go to his family.everytime i am watching, listening or seeing his pictures i cried alot. And until today i am still shedding tears.I know everybody might wish if they had a second chance in life. If GOD could have given any second chance then i am sure that everyone will be happy, because our very famous MJ will come back alive.but there is no second life, just one life and that one life we will have do right things and not wrong things.Everyone wants to go to heaven.MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE AND MAY HIS MEMORIES BE WITH EVERYONE. MAY GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY! MAY YOU CONTINUE TO SING AND DANCE IN HEAVEN.
