Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak is slipping in and out of consciousness eight days after he was transferred to a prison hospital to serve his life sentence, a security official said.

Mubarak's wife, Suzanne, and her two daughters-in-law were granted special permission to visit him early on Sunday to quash rumours of his death, the official said at Cairo's Torah prison.

Officials have turned down several requests by Mubarak's family to transfer him back to a military facility, where he had been held before his conviction.

On Saturday Mubarak's wife was denied access to the prison hospital's intensive care unit, as family visits are limited to one a month.

According to security officials quoted by al-Masry al-Youm daily, Mrs Mubarak lashed out at wardens for not giving her husband permission to seek treatment outside the prison. "You will be responsible for his death," she reportedly said.

Someone should ask Suzanne about the number of deaths for which her husband was responsible.
