Kennedy taken to hospital by ambulance; returns home to watch debate
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Sen. Edward Kennedy, who has brain cancer, was taken by ambulance to a hospital Friday near his Massachusetts vacation home after complaining of feeling ill but returned home a few hours later.
A statement issued by the 76-year-old senator's office attributed the episode to a change in medications. Sen. John Kerry said his fellow Massachusetts Democrat was well and planned to watch the evening's presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama.
An emergency telephone call from the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod came around 5 p.m., said Barnstable police Sgt. Ben Baxter. Kennedy was taken to Cape Cod Hospital and was "alert and responsive" during the trip, Baxter said.
Kennedy's office confirmed he returned home about 8 p.m.
