Michael Jackson didn't die of a heart attack. He died of cardiac arrest.
... which is why there is an investigation into his death. Saying that he died of cardiac arrest is completely uninformative, even redundant. As long as your heart is pumping blood to the rest of your body you are technically still alive. When it stops (for whatever reason) you are then dead. Eventually, one way or another, we all die of cardiac arrest.
