Like today wasn't sad enough..

 

TMZ updated their article..

 

We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support.

 

Tom Petty was rushed to the hospital Sunday night after he was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

EMTs rushed to his Malibu home and were able to get a pulse. He was rushed to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital and our sources say he was put on life support.

Last i read his brain was completely dead with no activity. The family decided to pull the plug.

 

1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live throughout the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.

 

12:30 PM PT -- We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support.

 

Very sad... so very sad... :(

Well, the guy was 66 ....... just sayin'

He lived the rock star life, still touring up until a few weeks ago, went out at the top of his game, massive cardiac arrest .......... I should be so lucky as to bow out like this.

 

To the guy who sang:

 

Well I know what's right

I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around

But I'll stand my ground

And I won't back down

 

R.I.P.

"Snow White"?

 

Another Traveling Wilbury goes off into the sunset :(

 

Cocaine

 

I didn’t see this personally - I just heard from guys closer to him. It takes nothing away from him as an artist. To have a career this long in a brutal industry, you need something to keep you ticking.

Most likely an anoxic brain injury post resuscitation. Its why I (kind of) hate CPR. Unless the cause is something traumatic and/or quickly reversible, it almost never turns out well. Leaves families with a terrible decision to make.
