8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010 – Prime Minister David Thompson, up to late this evening, remains hospitalised in the United States, where he has been waging a private and courageous battle against pancreatic cancer.
Political advisor Hartley Henry told the Nation that persistent rumours of the prime minister’s death are “absolutely not true”.
“He is very much alive. Not well, but very much alive. In fact, his condition is no different today than it was yesterday,” says Henry, while admitting that he has been bombarded today with inquiries into the prime minister’s condition.
Reports are that the ailing 48-year-old leader, who was re-admitted to the New York Presbyterian on October 4 after returning home on September 25, had entered into a coma and was at death’s door.
But Henry, who is with the prime minister in Manhattan, says Thompson is due back in Barbados next week. (KJ)
