El Salvador ex-leader Francisco Flores in coma
25 January 2016 Latin America & Caribbean
The former president of El Salvador, Francisco Flores, is in a coma after he suffered an arterial obstruction.
Mr Flores, 56, governed El Salvador from 1999 to 2004.
He was under house arrest after being accused of misappropriating $15m (£10.5m) given the country by Taiwan during his term in office, which he denies.
His lawyer said Mr Flores had been found unconscious at his home on Sunday evening.
It is the third time in the past 18 months that Mr Flores has been taken to hospital with serious health problems.
