Michael Jackson 1958-2009

Martine Croxall and she has just been joined by Tim Willcox, who clearly lives at TV Centre.

Sky News Active are showing a feed from a chopper above the hospital including audio from the reporter/camera operator. Its quite interesting. According to the reporter, they have about 30 mins of fuel left.

Martine Croxall has been joined by Tim Willcox on the NC.

BBC: LA Times reporting that Jackson is in a 'coma'.

For a while it was just Martine Croxall but she then said "you're watching BBC News with Martine Croxall and Tim Wilcox". Surprise, surprise...

Tim Wilcox joins Martine Croxall at 23.13

Sky, CNN & BBC are all taking the same live feed of an aerial shot of Los Angeles, they're not crediting it to anyone though at present.

Apparently the 'LA Times' has reported that Jackson is still alive but in a coma.

EDIT: Apparently the pictures are coming from KTLA which is a CBS (CW) station.

He was doing BBC World, I think.

Anyone with World? It sounds like a simulcast.

Funny I'd been thing over the last ten minutes or so that BBC/Sky - and Sky especially - had been receding slightly from the 'death' reports. I really hope they haven't jumped the gun on such a big story.

Anyone know what the US networks are doing?

These feeds from LA could be interesting...
