The death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.Los Angeles Police Department homicide and robbery division detectives attended the scene as a matter of routine in high profile death cases.[152] The case was transferred to the Los Angeles coroner for investigation as there was no doctor in attendance to sign the death certificate.[147] Jackson's body was transported by helicopter from UCLA to the LA Coroners offices in Boyle Heights [153][154] The autopsy is said to be scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2009.[151]On June 25, 2009, Jackson reportedly collapsed at a rented home i Holmby Hills in Los Angeles. After he collapsed, Jackson's personal physician, who was with him at the time, attempted to resuscitate him.[147] Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a 911 call at 12:21 pm (PST)[148] and arrived nine minutes later. Jackson was reportedly not breathing and CPR was quickly performed.[149] Resuscitation efforts continued both en route to the UCLA Medical Center and after arrival at approximately 1:14 pm (20:14 UTC), for a further hour. [147] He fell into a coma and died shortly after arrival.[150] The cause of death is as yet unknown, but he was noted to be already i cardiac arrest by the paramedics who attended him.[149] Jackson was pronounced dead at about 2:26 pm local time (21:26 UTC).[151]
Prior to his death, Jackson had been scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts to over one million people, at London's O2 arena, from July 13, 2009 to March 6, 2010. During a publicity press conference, Jackson made suggestions of possible retirement.[155] Randy Phillips, president and chief executive of AEG Live, had stated that the first 10 dates alone would have earned the singer approximately £50 million (about $100 million USD).[156]
