Dominican newspapers and talk shows are giving front-page coverage to the death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. He was just as much a part of Dominican culture - with the Michael Jackson show being one of the longest standing in tourism resorts nationwide for many years.
Initial reports on his death indicate it occured at the UCLA Medical Center of cardiac arrest after being taken there at 12:30pm on Thursday after paramedics tried to revive him at his Los Angeles home. The King of Pop, as he was commonly known, was about to begin a worldwide comeback that was expected to polish his tarnished public image.
Jackson and the Dominican Republic were suddenly intertwined in world pop history in 1994 when Jackson married the daughter of the King of Rock and Roll, Lisa Marie Presley, in the town of La Vega. Although the wedding, celebrated by judge Hugo Francisco Alvarez Perez was supposed to be a secret, the news soon leaked out to the world.
