Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was facing “imminent” death with doctors pessimistic about his life-threatening condition, the hospital where he has been in coma since a 2006 stroke said on Sunday.
The health of 85-year-old Sharon has been deteriorating since Wednesday when he was said to be in a critical condition after a surgery.
Sharon was “still in danger of imminent death” although his “heart is holding out better than we thought,” Zeev Rotstein, the director of Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer said. He said the former Premier was fighting for his life like “a true lion” as his medical condition remained life- threatening this morning.
