Michael Jackson

The King of Pop's final last words were: "More milk." Conrad Murray, his personal physician, said: "He was pleading and begging to please please let him have some milk because that was the only thing that would work". The disgraced doctor was referring to propofol, the powerful hospital anaesthetic Jackson overdosed on the day he died. On June 25, 2009, Jackson fell unconscious while lying in bed at his rented mansion in Los Angeles. Jackson was reportedly not breathing and CPR was performed. Resuscitation efforts continued en route to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, and for more than an hour after arriving there at 1:13 pm. He was pronounced dead at 2:26 pm Pacific time.

Michael Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music, dance and fashion along with his publicized personal life made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief. The news spread quickly online, causing websites to slow down and crash from user overload. Both TMZ and the Los Angeles Times suffered outages. Google initially believed that the millions of search requests meant their search engine was under DDoS attack, and blocked searches related to Michael Jackson for 30 minutes. Twitter reported a crash, as did Wikipedia.
