One of the Jacksons is dead!

Well...

Johnny Jackson, a former drummer for the Jackson 5, was found stabbed to death at a house in Gary, Ind., police said this afternoon. (Please look at the accompanying picture, he's the one silhouetted in total darkness. Total light-evaporating darkness.)

Around 11:23 p.m. March 1st, officers responded to an emergency call from the home, and found Johnny Jackson unconscious with a stab wound to his chest. The victim, 54, was pronounced dead at the scene today by the Lake County, Ind., coroner's office.

A witness who lives upstairs in the home heard a disturbance coming from downstairs between Jackson and a female acquaintance of Jackson's, Arnold said. The witness went downstairs to see what was going on and found Jackson lying in the first-floor living room area before calling 911.

No one was in custody this afternoon and detectives were conducting a homicide investigation, according to Arnold. A description of the female acquaintance was unavailable, and Arnold did not know how the two knew each other. Arnold said police believe Johnny Jackson was a first cousin of Michael Jackson.

Now me? He'll get buried in a pauper's grave while the rest of the bloated family dines on fine china and little brother Michael builds a mosque for the Islamic faithful in Bahrain as he has had yet another convenient religious epiphany.

Another sign of the Apocalypse unfolds.
