Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley hospitalized, in ICU

Source: LA Times

Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley remained hospitalized in an intensive care unit Saturday, his law firm said.

Feeling ill, the 71-year-old Daley walked straight from a plane into an ambulance after returning to Chicago on Friday evening from a business trip to Arizona, according to a statement released by his spokesman and law firm.

His father died of a heart attack at age 74, and the former mayor has been hospitalized at least two times since 2000.

His family is visiting him between tests at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Daley spokesman Rick Jasculca said in the statement.

Remember, he's royalty here ... while the rest of us probably would get the tests administered in the emergency room, a Daley will most likely be sent straight to ICU.

I suggest checking Chicago papers for updates; so far we've had NY and LA weigh in. I know this is fly-over territory, but we do have our own newspapers!
