Michael Jackson killed by Cardiac Arrest or Heart Attack?

While a heart attack is bad it is not as severe as Cardiac Arrest. A heart attack can kill but you have a better chance for survival. With Cardiac Arrest your heart can no longer function at all thus you usually die or go into a coma like Michael Jackson did even after resuscitation. They were able to get a heart beat but then he slipped into a coma and died. They worked on him for about 1 hour but lost him. I too am saddened by his death and it scares me also because so much heart trouble runs in my family. I pray that you are doing okay!
