AED

It's been 5 days since the untimely death of Michael Jackson and we still aren't sure why he died. There is still a lot of speculation to the true cause of his death. Was is stress? Perhaps prescription medication? We are still hearing speculation as to the true cause of death, but we are now starting to hear other details as to the treatment Jackson received.

Contradicting first reports, we are now being told that Michael Jackson's home was not equipped with a defibrillator. Initial reports indicated otherwise, but now we know for sure the pop-star's home did not have a automated external defibrillator.

According to Michael Jackson's personal doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, the home was not equipped with an AED. In addition, an anonymous spokesman close to Jackson stated ''If there had been a defibrillator there, it would have been used."

We'll never know if Michael Jackson's life couldn't have been saved that day if an AED was present. But according to American Heart Association, the odds of survival from cardiac arrest improve 49% with the use of a defibrillator.
