Actually, looks like I'm a jerk. It looks like it's taken from outside of the ambulance looking in, the red on the bottom may be reflection from the window.

If the jump seat is close enuff...sit...why not...
Are we sure this is actually him? it really doesn't have enuff detail to confirm it is him. It is most likely a fake.
But if it is real, that was 1 lucky shot. You can tell it was supposed to be from the outside...
There is a video showing the ambulance backing up from the house. there are looking into the windows so i assume its from then.

just watched him get transported to the coroner's office on the news...
personally, i'm too young to have actually listened to his music or to have followed him, and this doesn't really affect me at all

Oh gag. Like everyone else has said, I sure hope it was not the EMS crew.
I am definatly not a fan of Jackson, but everyone deserves privacy no matter how famous they are. (Here ends my statement of the obvious.)

You mean you rather start an I/O in lieu of an EJ? I/O's should be the last resort, as venous access is preferred to have to use I/O.
I/O is great but should used as the last resort for many factors. Also, I could detect that they did an EJ, rather the tubing appeared to be going to the extremity and other tubing appeared to be attached to the EtCo2.
I am surprised though, that his skin color did not appear to be as bad as I would thought.

OMG a thousand times yes. That is the first thing I said to my mum when she told me he died.

i agree i think this pic is just sick. but considering how high profile this guy is, i'm sure it wasn't taken by fire/ems/police...... definitely paparazzi and when he/she showed it to everyone he/she was probably getting high fives and told good job.

With that said, remember, he was acquitted of his charges. Many of us convicted him in the court of public opinion. He was never found guilty.

He was a magnificent musician and entertainer. Without being that, most of us could not have afforded such trial attorneys or make such deals that he was able to do. I am definitely not disrespecting his death as it is a sad event but let's not martyr him as well.
Regarding the pic, I don't like paparazzi pics either but we see faces and pics of others as well. Actually, the pic displayed that he was a person, just alike anyone else.
Personally, I feel sorry for the medic that had to provide care. I could not imagine the undue pressers or even intubating a person whom you know that whole career is dependent upon your action(s). I am sure many of the LA medics are familiar and maybe used to the "celebrities" but I am glad I don't have to deal with hassle of it. I could only imagine the discussion in the rig afterwards and at the station house.

I will have to give the LA medics credit for how they have maintained patient privacy with their high profile cases which also included Britney. When you have Paramedics like the two who where only to happy to give the media gorey details about the chimp attack on the woman a few months ago, it violates a public trust. This also holds true with the situation involving John Travolta's son and Anna Nicole. It just thrusts EMS into a limelight that is not needed regardless of how some want the public to know what those on the ambulances do.

There is talk of an opiate overdose Demerol/Morphine. Apparently he had a doctor living with him who is now AWOL.

Apparently to TMZ the initial crew was going to "flag"/pronounce M.J (King of Pop). As it was apparent he had been dead for a while. The physician was insistent that they continue to work him. Apparently there was an empty Lidocaine box found PTA.
Now, I ask was this Lido for possible analgesic or cardiac (since PCP was a Cardiologist) ?
Wow! I seem to remember a very similar case 30+ years ago, involving the "King of Rock-n-Roll".
