A spokesman for the hospital where Mr Truman was admitted on Tuesday with congestion of the lungs, said that while he remained critically iIL his vital signs were stable. At one point on Wednesday night a spokesman had said “death may be imminent.” At the same time Mr Truman’s personal physician sounded a cautionary note: “He is extraordinarily weak. He is being fed intravenously and oxygen is being administered,” he said.
