VIDEO : Joe Jackson Has Died At 89

Joe Jackson, the fearsome stage dad of Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and their talented siblings, who took his family from poverty and launched a musical dynasty, died Wednesday. He was 89. Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg told The Associated Press that Joe Jackson died at Nathan Adelson Hospice in Las Vegas. Fudenberg said he did not have full details, and a determination was not immediately made about whether his office would handle the case. Channel 24.co.za reported that the coroner said: "We are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the death, but there is no reason to believe it's anything other than a natural death."
