Former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak was in a coma Monday, a spokesman for Egypt's Interior Ministry said.
"Mubarak entered today into full coma. His two sons Gamal and Alaa submitted a request to the prison authority to move beside him and it has been accepted. His health has been deteriorating since the verdict, with high blood pressure, problems breathing, and irregular heart beat," Interior Ministry spokesman Alaa Mahmoud said.
Mubarak's lawyer has submitted a request that he be moved from prison to a private hospital, Mahmoud said.
Mubarak, 84, is in a Cairo prison hospital after being sentenced to life in prison for the killing of pro-democracy demonstrators last year. Mubarak was already suffering from health problems and attended court on a gurney.

...and why would you put sunglasses inside a building...on an unconscious person???
He's making a fashion statement for comatose patients....that's why..
They are trying to make him look like Uncle Bernie!
...since when do comatose people fold their arms???
...nottah a very convincing picture cnn...
He has done so much for Egypt. he doesn't deserve this suffering. Tantawi, be scared of your end.
I still say that both Egypt and Israel's governments are fully aware of the black market diamonds and guns running through the tummels beneath their border. And that Mubarek had Israeli accomplices.
he's faking it.....he'll probably even fake his death and escape to Saudi Arabia...
*tunnels, rather. "Missy? More coffee pls. Thank ya kindly."-old Philip
Somebody pinch that dude. Wrap him up like a mummy and put him in the lobby of the MGM Grand in Vegas. Mubarak Mummy! (put the sunglasses on the mummy)
I think they should put some nice white face paint on him, put an over abundance of lip stick on as well. And then hang a sign around his neck that says "Why so serious?".
"Ding dong the witch is dead" only worked for The Wizard of Oz and those with munchkin mentality disorder.
Justice demands that Mubareks accomplices go down with him, even if Jews.
...or Americans. What? Do you really think Mubarek's crimes were all 'lone wolf'? really?
The photo was taken on June 2 over a week ago. He was not in a coma at that time. First his sons, also sentenced to prison asked to be moved close to thier "dying" father. Now the lawyers want to move this "dying" father to a private hospital. Does anyone else see an escape plan hatching here???? Unplug Mubarek and let him die in his cell. After the atrocities this family has committed, they do not deserve the decency of respect while dying.
You imagine Mubarak escaping as his Israeli accomplices do just that...even escaping your notice just as the tunnels beneath the Israel-egypt border have for years!
Justice calls for ea. and every single accomplice to be prosecuted.
lmao. You taxpayers gave the suspected war criminal Usama Bin Laden an honorable burial at sea! Complete with full honors and religious men praying over his dead body. Get a clue hannamomma.
Just another Manic Monday.
