Where Did Michael Jackson Die? Complete Guide to the Location, Estate, and Final Resting Place
By Alexander Ross
Paramedics rushed Jackson down Sunset Boulevard into the emergency bay of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center at 757 Westwood Plaza. Over a dozen physicians and clinical staff under the direction of Dr. Cooper administered aggressive interventions for one hour and twelve minutes. Medical staff inserted an endotracheal tube, administered epinephrine and atropine, and utilized a balloon pump to stimulate circulation.
Jackson exhibited asystole throughout the efforts, a flatline without electrical activity. No spontaneous heartbeat was ever re-established. At 2:26 p.m. PDT, medical efforts officially ceased. Jackson was declared dead at age 50.
The Los Angeles County Coroner, led by Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, took custody of the body that afternoon. Following an exhaustive three-month toxicological investigation, the coroner ruled the death a homicide caused by propofol acute intoxication, with an operative contributing effect from benzodiazepines. The legal proceedings concluded in late 2011 with Conrad Murray's conviction for involuntary manslaughter.
