"The wound had become severely infected...Reeve was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital on Saturday evening and never regained consciousness," the statement said on Monday.
Reeve has been confined to a wheelchair after suffering multiple injuries, including two shattered neck vertebrae, when he was thrown from his horse at an equestrian event in 1995.
He said in a statement Reeve went into a coma on Saturday after suffering a heart attack at his home during treatment for a pressure wound.
Even if he did go into the coma on Saturday after suffering a heart attack I am guessing that calling John Kerry on Saturday was not a priority. Sounds like he was in pretty bad shape. Sad.
Do we have the Rueters story cached?
Reuters is so suspect that I feel they are an unreliable source. After all, these are the folks that call terrorists who behead people militants.
