BREAKING: Mubarack is dead

CNN BREAKING NEWS: Egypt's state news agency MENA reports former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is "clinically dead."

(visit the link for the full news article)


UPDATE: Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, 84, was declared clinically dead shortly after arriving at a military hospital in Cairo, where he was taken after suffering a stroke and cardiac arrest, medical sources told the state-run Mena News Agency

Convenient enough. Guess he won't be spending much time in jail.

Anyone who had access to him, whether at the holding compound or hospital who was holding a grudge, could have easily put something into his food; however, he looked in real rough shape during his trial.

Pretty convenient, as mentioned, since the country just elected a new party.

And so his sins wash away with him, guess we'll never know how many got slaughtered there.

Where's the link?

Well now we will know that Egypt will never be the same with Radicals who will be in power of Egypt's military and aided by America seeing how Clinton still believes Egypt will be a Democracy .

Just a thought and I am throwing this out there but, Who is to say this was done on a grudge? What if this was a choice. He was 87 years old and the thought of dying in prison may have been too much for him. Maybe he chose to have it done to avoid the future. Again just a thought.

Damnit!
This is how I killed Wolfman Jack!
I need to stop wondering if people are dead.
I'm killing world leaders now for crying out loud.

"clinically dead." Hmmm.. Revenge of the mummy??

He was resuscitated and is now in critical condition. It's pretty clear though that he doesn't have much time left and won't die in prison.

wait...
Mubarak is still alive????

Yes, apparently he is still alive although it doesn't look like it's for long:

CAIRO -- Egypt's state news agency said Tuesday that Hosni Mubarak has suffered a stroke, and prison officials said he is likely to be moved out of his prison hospital to a military facility nearby.

State TV said the 84-year-old ousted president, who is serving a life prison sentence, was in a "critical" condition and has been placed on a respirator. The state news agency MENA said earlier Mubarak's heart stopped and a defibrillator was used to restart it.

It later reported that the prison authority has called in his doctors to treat his stroke in "a fast deterioration of his health" and that they were giving him medications to break up blood clots.

A prison official said doctors reported that Mubarak has fallen unconscious. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He said the prison authorities are considering moving him to the military hospital nearby in Maadi, a suburb near Torah Prison where he is held.

Can I send you a list of a few more world leaders? I want to make sure if they are dead or not.


Raist

they'll just keep resuscitating him and keep him alive like the Israelis did for Ariel Sharon.

Sharon is still going strong after six and a half years...Mubarak's got some good years ahead of him.

Meh heh, I've already entertained that thought my friend.
Slippery slope.
With great power comes...you know the rest.

I don't know how you got that from what the article actually says:

CAIRO -- Egypt's state-run news agency said ousted strongman Hosni Mubarak is "clinically dead" after he suffered a stroke, though other top officials said he was in critical condition but remained alive.
MENA, the state news agency, said doctors were unable to revive Mubarak with a defibrillator.
An Interior Ministry spokesman said Mubarak has been moved from prison to a military hospital after he suffered a stroke and his condition rapidly worsened.
The spokesman, Alaa Mahmoud, said the 84-year-old Mubarak was moved by ambulance from the hospital in Torah Prison to nearby Maadi Hospital in southern Cairo. The military facility is where Mubarak's predecessor Anwar Sadat was declared dead after being shot by Islamic extremists in 1981.
Earlier, the state news agency said Mubarak's health condition rapidly deteriorated, when he suffered a stroke and his heart stopped briefly. Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison on June 2 for failing to stop the killing of protesters in last year's uprising that led to his ouster.

It seems I am the first one to openly come out and say this - how the hell do we know he isn't being loaded on a plane and flown to a nice little mansion somewhere?

There are a hell of a lot of corrupt people still in positions of power in Egypt. The Mubarak family were like the mob, they controlled much of the media and business in the country, this is what started the entire revolution.

Do you think he wouldn't have plenty of friends in the courts, prison system and corporate business willing to get him out for a couple of million?

I'll believe he's dead when the body is seen and the Egyptian people accept that he's dead. Until then I'll be suspicious.

if his friends are so powerful, then why couldn't they keep him in power?

they helped to bring him to power and keep him in power...why stop?

because they are weak and he's in hell.

reply to post by detachedindividual


Isn't it part of their culture to bury their dead leaders at sea?

Certainly wouldn't want to bury him where his tombstone could become a shrine...

The two articles are conflicting. One says he's clinically dead the other says he's in critical condition. One says the use of the defibrillator was unsuccessful the other says it was successful. The article I posted above also says that they are giving him medication to break up blood clots (probably something you wouldn't want to bother with if someone was dead).

See my highlight in the article I posted (with link). That's how I got that from the article.

i guess only the medical staff know for sure. Is there a reason they would want to bring him back? If he is clinically dead they can bring his body back, that's all they can bring back.They can start his heart and the respirator will keep it going. The brain is probably dead. A CT scan will confirm that. Maybe they want to harvest some organs, have him give back something for all he took.My cousin had a stroke last week on her birthday and she was DOA, revived and put on a respirator, but clinically dead (2 CT scans confirmed that), we pulled the plug on her on Saturday.
