Music icon Michael Jackson, whose fame spanned from his childhood with the legendary Jackson 5 to a superstar solo career that earned him the nickname 'King of Pop,' died Thursday afternoon at a Los Angeles hospital. He was 50.

Cause of death was confirmed by the Corner at UCLA Medical Center as a heart attack brought on by food poisoning. Michael apparently was sucking on 12 year old nuts.
