Kennedy faces more hospital tests after seizure

DOCTORS in the US were working yesterday to determine the cause of a seizure that sent Senator Edward Kennedy to the hospital and prompted an outpouring of support for the liberal political icon.

Kennedy, 76, spent a peaceful night at Massachusetts General Hospital, a top aide said, and few details of his condition were expected before a battery of tests was completed by this morning at the earliest.

“Senator Kennedy had a good night’s sleep and we expect today to be a very quiet day,” said the aide.
