NEW YORK, Oct. 9 -- Atlantic City Mayor Robert W. Levy, who has not been seen publicly in nearly two weeks, was hospitalized late last month, his attorney said Tuesday, at a facility that says it specializes in "psychiatric and addictive illness."
The lawyer, Edwin J. Jacobs, would not elaborate on what prompted Levy to check into the Carrier Clinic in Belle Meade, two hours north of Atlantic City. "He was there for a week, and he has been convalescing at home since last Thursday," Jacobs told the Associated Press.
Jacobs did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday from The Washington Post.
Atlantic City has been without its mayor since Sept. 26, when Levy called in sick, got into his government-issued Dodge Durango and vanished from public life, cutting off contact with his closest staffers.
