Egypt officials deny reports that Hosni Mubarak is dead
Top security officials denied reports by Egyptian state media Tuesday that former President Hosni Mubarak whose health reportedly had been deteriorating since he was sentenced earlier this month to life in prison was clinically dead, saying instead that he was unconscious and had been placed on life support.In any case, Egypts fourth president, now 84, appeared to be entering his final days, just after Egypt concluded its first free presidential election to name his successor. Initial results suggested that Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsi had prevailed narrowly in last weekends runoff, marking the end of a state governed by former military commanders and the start, many hoped, of democratic reforms.
