CNN TV: Mubarak in a coma

[LLStarks]

I guess being ousted was far too stressful for his aging body.

1. I'll believe it when outside sources confirm it.

Right now it's just his lawyer making a claim. Often when you have no other defense, "medical issues" can be used to keep someone out of a well deserved prison cell.

2. Well at least that's better

than a full stop.

4. Poor, soul, he was just too high strung. It would appear the strain was more than he could bear.

(He was no daisy at all!)

5. "Hospital chief denies Hosni Mubarak coma reports"

The head of Sharm el-Sheikh hospital, where former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak is being treated, on Sunday denied that the ex-strongman had gone into a coma, state TV reported.

Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak, in custody in a hospital of a Red Sea resort, is in a coma, state television reported on Sunday, quoting his lawyer. Mubarak, 83, has been in a Sharm el-Sheikh hospital since April when he suffered a heart attack during questioning over alleged fraud and the killing of protesters during the uprising which ousted him in February.

He is due to go on trial on August 3 on charges of corruption and murder. On Saturday, officials said Mubarak's trial would most likely be held in Sharm el-Sheikh for security reasons.

Mubarak could either be put in the dock or questioned by court officials in his hospital room, with the rest of the trial proceedings taking place in a court room, the official said. An interior ministry official told AFP the trial location "has not been completely settled, but Mubarak will most likely be tried in Sharm el-Sheikh."
