Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush breaks bone in neck during fall at homeFormer U.S. President George H.W. Bush broke a bone in his neck during a fall at his home in Maine on Wednesday, though he was listed in stable condition and his hospital stay was expected to be brief, his spokesman said.
Bush, 91, who served as America's 41st president, was last hospitalized in Houston for a week in December 2014 after experiencing breathing difficulties.
"His condition is stable - he is fine - but he'll be in a neck brace," spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement posted on Twitter following the accident.
McGrath told CNN that Bush was being treated in a hospital in Portland, Maine, adding that the former president was never disoriented and that his stay at the facility was not expected to be long.
