Michael Jackson was officially pronounced dead at 3:15 PM PDT, but according to TMZ (the Web outlet which broke the news about Jackson), a 911 call was placed at 12:21 PM PDT, after he was discovered not breathing and without a heartbeat. Paramedics arrived at 12:32 PM PDT and could not revive him. He was DOA at the hospital.

Michael Jackson is to have been taken unwell at 12.21 local time LA, or 19.21 GMT, at which time a 911 call was received. I have Asc 26VI31 MC 26GE12, which puts Uranus at 26P36 on the descendant. The Moon was 16LE25.

PS. Angles quoted belong to the event chart and not Jackson's nativity.
Here is a proposed natal chart: http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic ... sc&start=0

Yes and if we follow your Gemini rising suggestion then Virgo Saturn, in its transiting square with radix Asc/Sun ruler Mercury, would also be his 8th House ruler

Sorry. I see I may have caused a misunderstanding here. I am not quoting the angles of his natal chart. This would more topically belong in the 'Natives' section. The Asc & MC is of the event chart at the moment that Jackson was taken unwell and the emergency call was received.

I edited my post to clear up the confusion. Thanks.

don't you just love astrology. Switch to Scorpio rising charts and we are still looking at the Mercury - Saturn square, with Mercury becoming 8th house ruler as opposed to Saturn!!

In the press announcement, his brother said that Michael died at 2:26 pm. I realise that Astraea is making the point that he actually died earlier, but the official declaration of death might have meaning, so I'd like to clarify that.

Sad news.

The 3:15 PM declaration of death was initially reported by Fox News. This time was later amended to 2:26 PM. Here is the timeline as we now have it from family members and official sources at the Los Angeles Police Department:

11:30 AM - Jackson is administered a Demerol injection by his live-in doctor. His breathing slows immediately and he goes into cardiac arrest, whereupon the doctor tries to revive him for nearly an hour before 911 is called.

12:21 PM - Call placed to 911. Paramedics arrive within seven minutes and see that Jackson is already dead, but the doctor insists that further attempts be made at resuscitation; this takes nearly another hour, and Jackson is finally transported to UCLA Medical Center at around 1:15 PM.

2:26 PM - After working on Jackson for another hour at the hospital, doctors finally pronounce him dead.

All times are PDT.

(Edited to add: The website of reference for all things Jackson is http://www.tmz.com - the site is run by a lawyer and investigative reporter in Los Angeles and has been very accurate in its reporting.)
