Bush Sr remains in hospital after fall

Former US president George H.W. Bush suffered a neck fracture in a fall at his home in Maine, though he was listed in stable condition and his hospital stay was expected to be brief, his spokesman said.

Bush, 91, who served as America’s 41st president, was last hospitalised in Houston, Texas, for a week in December 2014 after experiencing breathing difficulties.

“‘41’ fell at home in Maine today and broke a bone in his neck,” spokesman Jim McGrath said on Twitter following the accident, using his presidential nickname.
