Hosni Mubarak Dead “Sort Of”

The former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, has suffered a stroke on Tuesday and doctors at a military hospital in Cairo are saying he is clinically dead.

“Clinically dead” is a medical term used when a person stops circulating blood and breathing.

The 84-year-old, Mubarak, ruled Eqypt for 30 years until he was overthrown by a revolution last year.
