Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Health Worsens
The condition of Israeli former prime minister Ariel Sharon deteriorated on Wednesday, according to the hospital treating him.
The 85-year-old Sharon has been in a coma since 2006, when a massive stroke incapacitated him. The New York Times reports that his condition began to worsen about a month ago:
"A spokesman for the hospital that has been treating Mr. Sharon, 85, said that 'there has been a deterioration in his medical condition.' A person who had been briefed on the situation, but spoke on the condition of anonymity because of its delicacy, said Mr. Sharon had suffered a setback about a month ago and spent two weeks in intensive care after emergency surgery, then seemed to have stabilized before the most recent turn."
