Michael Jackson dies of cardiac arrest at the age of 50 today. http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/25/michael-jackson-dies-death-dead-cardiac-arrest/
Yes, Ed was the first to die. Looks like prescription drugs may have been the cause of Michael Jackson's death. He was taking Demerol and they say his last injection he took was too big of a dose which caused his heart to slowly beat then stop.
Jackson was such a legendary star, he was the god of dancing and he has left a gap which will never be filled. Stars like him born in centuries.
