Michael Jackson 911 Tape: "He's Not Breathing...He Needs Help!"

Michael Jackson Telegraph UK/ZUMA Press

It's the call Michael Jackson fans have dreaded hearing.

E! News has obtained the tape of the chilling 911 call relayed by one of the pop icon's handlers at 12:21 p.m. Thursday requesting emergency assistance after Jackson suffered his fatal cardiac arrest.

The unidentified caller immediately requests an ambulance and gives the address of the 50-year-old singer's rented Holmby Hills mansion. Without giving Jackson's name, the caller tells the dispatcher that Jackson had collapsed and appeared to be lifeless.

Caller: Uh, sir, I have—we have, uh, a gentleman here that needs help, and he's not breathing. He's not breathing and we need to—we're trying to pump him, but he's not. . .He's not.
911 Operator
: OK, how old is he?
Caller
: He's 50-years-old, sir.
911 Operator
: 50? OK. He's unconscious, he's not breathing?
Caller
: Yes. He's not breathing, sir.

Moments laters, the increasingly anxious caller tells the dispatcher that Jackson's personal phyiscian—later identified as Conrad Robert Murray—was performing CPR but the music legend remained unresponsive.

The dispatcher asks the caller if the doctor saw what happened, at which point a voice is heard in the background shouting, "They need to come!"

Caller: Sir, if you just, uh, um, if you can please—
911 Operator
: We're on our way, we're on our way, I'm just passing these questions on to my, uh, paramedics that are on the way there, sir.
Caller
: Thank you, sir. He's pumping, he's pumping his chest, but he's not responding to anything, sir, please.
