Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is in intensive care after suffering a heart attack, say state media.

He was taken ill while meeting prosecutors investigating the killing of hundreds of protesters and allegations of corruption, reports say.

The manager of the hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh said Mr Mubarak's condition was "almost stable".

Mr Mubarak, 82, stood down on 11 February following an 18-day popular uprising against his rule.

State TV quotes medical sources as saying that Mr Mubarak, had refused to eat or drink since being summoned by the public prosecutor on Sunday.

1. I'll give him the benefit of an occlusion.

But I'm generous to a fault.

2. Could be, he isn't in good health.

3. I foresee a fake death soap box theme in the works.

Then go off into the world under a new identity with most od his billions.

[QED]

6. Like Ken Lay?

It wouldn't surprise me. There must be a secret compound somewhere with no extradition treaty these guys hide out. Nah, I'm not a conspiracy nut but sometimes these deaths are just too convenient. Remember Milosovec?

9. Ken Lay indeed was my first thought.

Feels so familiar for the rich and untouchable kinds.

4. Unlikely -- first he'd need to have one.

5. I thought he was in Germany.

I know I read he has cancer.

Wait..here it is: with the same picture of him as the above report, too:

Deposed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak has arrived in Germany for medical treatment, a reliable Egyptian newspaper reported on Monday.
