Official reports of the stroke and cardiac arrest came earlier Tuesday. Adel Saeed, spokesman of the Egyptian prosecutor, had told CNN that Mubarak’s heart had stopped, and that personnel revived him with “electric shocks and CPR.” State-run Nile TV reported that Mubarak suffered a stroke.
Mubarak, 84, was sentenced to life in prison June 2 for the killing of pro-democracy demonstrators last year. He already was suffering from health problems and attended court on a gurney.
UPDATE: Several senior Egyptian officials are now refuting a state news agency’s report that former president Hosni Mubarak is “clinically dead.”
