Default I'm watching the news....

All it says so far is he was taken to the hospital not breathing when Paramedics arrived. No word on his fate or condition yet.

Default I see that....

All I can go by is what I'm watching live on MSNBC. TMZ is reporting his death as well, NBC is NOT confirming it yet.

I guess now they are saying that he was rushed to the hospital in full cardiac arrest. They're not sure if he's still alive or not.
