Egypt’s ex-president Hosni Mubarak may be shifted to hospital soon after his “heart stopped and he was treated with a defibrillator,” state news agency MENA said on Tuesday.
“Sources said he was likely to moved to a military hospital within hours if his health continued to deteriorate,” the agency reported.
The ousted dictator’s health had sharply deteriorated in the past two hours and that he would be transferred if doctors at the prison were unable to treat him, AFP quoted a senior interior ministry official as saying.
“We have not taken a decision yet,” he said.
Mubarak, 84, was sentenced to life behind bars on June 2 for suppressing a revolt against his rule in early 2011 during which nearly 850 protesters were killed.
Doctors treated him with a defibrillator twice on June 11, according to a prison hospital source.
