Jermaine Jackson, who broke out onto the world stage with his brother Michael in The Jackson Five, is sharing details about Michael Jackson's finals hours with "The Insider."

"My brother, the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, 2009, at 2:26 p.m. It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known," Jermaine tells "The Insider."

"His personal physician, who was with him at the time, attempted to resuscitate my brother, as did paramedics who transported him to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Upon arriving at the hospital at approximately 1:14 p.m., a team of highly skilled doctors, including emergency physicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour but were unsuccessful. Our family requests that the media respect our privacy during this tragic period of time," Jermaine continues in the statement.

  • THIS IS WHAT I CALL “W. O. W.” (“WOW OVER WILD“)! Now here’s a fella’ or fellow, or person, male, or an ingenuous unique and very highly mysterious birthright gifted individual that reached personal financial goals boundlessly, and at the same time most likely never accomplished personal freedom while he was alive. There isn’t any book to reach or inherit personal freedom. It is a knowledge developed fragilely by roaming random intellectual circumstances over situated physical and psychological assorted experiences momentarily, and also by the consumption of time logistically. No one truly has a right to design judgment on anyone except self reliantly form an appropriate opinion about that person carefully and considerably, and at that even there are natural instinct guidelines and rules, laws, and policies by our humanlike birthright giving nature, you think?

    Michael Joseph Jackson has only evolved LIFE by simply not being here anymore. I would think anyone would prefer LIVING instead of DYING while consciously in competent thought about his or her choice of immediate or hesitated freedom. Michael’s death by now should have already protectively opened millions of minds wisely. His death should have opened eyes by now to view life to be extremely vulnerably priceless no matter what’s of our destine fortunes. He among others of various unusual deaths have symbolized living actively appropriate is pricelessly very important.

    Michael Jackson’s dad Joseph Jackson is currently a close friend of mine dearly who I‘ve known for over 20 years, and to hear various strange worlds of people inappropriately and inaccurately gossiping about Joseph’s character as for him to have been an inappropriate father to his children and scorn or inappropriately mock his oral comments on national media and worldwide is unjustifiably wrong by the people. Most of these estrange people recognize televised medias as their systematized gods subconsciously, and consciously they fear their own inner insecurities and sincerity of true will to be able to think appropriately about an opinionated situation. Until you have actually spent time with an individual character how can you possibly agree with others who haven’t even met the person they’re gossiping or have heard about once?!

    I know about Joseph Jackson on a personal friendly and unfriendly associate level and also on a professional business structured level, and on a respectful family oriented level too. But the pop quiz question is “Do that gives me the GOSSIP right to chat unfavorably or favorably about Mr. Joseph Jackson?” Only if I am accurate about something I may be revealing or conveying, and appropriately submitting that may possibly save his or someone else’s life. Want to know anything about the golden living legend Mr. Joseph Jackson, simply locate him if you’re privilege somehow or another, and questioned or interview him yourself personally. I know this because I’m also a golden living legend myself by birthright alone and by my father’s title Philip “Phil Phillips” Baptiste. My dad is a retired golden musical living legend who has originally written, composed, and musically produced and performed the golden legendary love ballad Rock & Roll 1959 #2 on the pop and rock chart song title “Sea of Love” as also in the movie title “SEA OF LOVE” acted by actors Al Pacino & Ellen Barklin, and in the movie “JUNO” his music sung by Cat Power, and also Sea Of Love was re-recorded by Robert Plant in 1983. My father was also recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Music Hall Of Fame in two years back-to-back. Many have interviewed and chatted with my father on a personal level in person and with me too and others of our wonderful very super musically and poetically talented caring family, and have finally gotten their questions answered in first class by contacting us personally.

    So don’t take what you hear of gossip or on the televised media or magazines or etc to be accurate ever. Ask the persons themselves in person on a one and one basis, OK? You might just learn something appropriately interesting and different of ever before than of your usual daily findings. Michael Jackson was an ingenuous vulnerable endangered nonfiction talented male person caught in manmade modern fairytale spider webs fatally, and as many I’m sadden deeply by his sudden death wondrously.

    This planet Earth has been taken a beaten from humans for years now, and currently weeping to return to its originality permanently. The female and male morals have been distant for decades now, and both entities have gone psychotically wildest as to have lost original principals of keeping dignified logically.

    There is no more kindness anymore, and appropriate standards have been shattered into pieces of unusual wonder mysteriously. Humans have even often degraded and shamed the titles “monster” and “monstrous” indisputably and victoriously without even feeling shame about that even! I’m always trying to calculate time with radical chaos toward discovering an immediate appropriate solution to return humans back to intellectual normality protectively. But envisioning that goal mind and goal mine presently, I wonder sadly if there has ever been such a state of appropriate class of minds originally. It truly causes questioning on historic morals disturbingly, you think?!

    Most humans modernly wander after the mysterious cash flow of their random popular opulent neighbors. They are willing to be or do practically anything inappropriate for financial protection including losing their MIND. It is chaos and chaotic unusual behavior at its most boundless worst ever known to humankind modernly and historically, and who’s going to take the blame for it all, huh?! Well so far it’s been only the planet Earth alone with its animal like spheres that have been transformed by the inappropriate evolving humans themselves, you think?! I just wish all the psychological chaos could end immediately right this very wise golden moment. -by Jason Baptiste a.k.a. “Golden/Golden Poet/Golden Prince/Golden Viceroy/”
  • I know this sounds crazy. Is there an e-mail address for Jermaine Jackson. I would like to tell him they they should also go after the Dr. that gave Michael the 5 hour physical exam and sue him for all he is worth for letting pass his physical. If MJ had all those track marks on him, the Dr. should have noticed and not let him pass his physical.

  • funny how morons think they are so qualified to judge and post comments on subjects they know very little about.. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GOD'S ORDER! NEW OR OLD FOOL! Michael was murdered for trying to wake people who are asleep! He paid for his love of humanity and god with his life!! He is a warrior for god!! Wake up foolish sheeple!! The masons murdered Michael upon orders of the illuminati...

  • "gone to soon" he was taking in the worst way. To make it worse he died on my birthday.... But for the the greed in these people who exposed MJ to these drugs is shocking and for them to give them in a way not suitable just shows how cruel the world is and how foolish to actually to believe they could get away with it "WHAT YOU DO IN THE DARK COMES TO LIGHT"

  • I wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to the Jackson Family. His fan's loss cannot even be compared to yours. His children should be aware that their father was a target for false acusations, as are many with his status. They should not listen to the ignorant people who report information on speculation. You have lost a Great Son, Father, Brother, and Uncle. Along with many others my heart goes out to all of you.

  • Jermaine Jackson loved his Brother Michael so much,and Michael was lucky to have had Jermaine as a big brother always being there when ever he was needed.Everyone will remember Michael as a Icon,which he was he was so talented but I'm going to remember him as the Human being who was a warm caring and loving and gentle Soul,who would do anything he could to help someone.I never met him but I didn't have to,to know what kind of person Michael really was,I really wish I could have met him he and I would be good Friends,he was the type of Friend I would love to have in my Life.I used to climb trees all the time growing up and I loved it,you feel safe and free to think when your up in a tree.Michael created some of his beautiful songs when he was up that big tree in Neverland,thats where he got his inspiration to write.I have watched and kept up with Michael and his career,what a career he had.He had a Heart of Gold and there are few people left like that.Like I said I will remember Michael first as a great Human being and a great Entertainer second,he was in a class by himself and he will be greatly missed.But we all should remember how lucky we were to have had him in our lives for so many years,we need to remember that,in this time of such sorrow we need to appreciate having Michael here as long as we did we were so honored.
