Mubarak Dead?

Looks like he may be, according to Reuters. Says his heart stopped and he didn't respond to defibrillation. He escaped spending the rest of his life in prison, but it doesn't make up for the decades he was dictator over the Egyptian people.

Wikipedia says he's dead too.
That's not a good news.

It's pretty much irrelevant, at this point. He was gone and never going to come back. Hopefully, he actually died of "natural causes" and not some ham handed attempt at revenge. I'd say it's likely he DID die of natural causes, tho. His health has been bad for years.

The BBC is saying he had a stroke, but not "dead" yet. My guess is that he's clinically dead, like the earlier reports have said and the military doctors are trying to cover their butts.

Reuters is saying Egyptian officials say he's on life support and not "clinically dead". Not sure why they're bothering since he's been ill and he's been sentenced to life imprisonment. Of course, he's been moved out of his prison to another facility, so maybe he's saying "I'm not dead yet!"

Well he died before they could judge him for what he did.

He'd already been tried and sentenced to life in prison.

He got off lucky by getting dead.
