Egypt's former president Hosny Mubarak was clinically dead after being transferred to a military hospital in Cairo, security sources told dpa late Tuesday.
Mubarak suffered a stroke earlier in the day and was moved from a prison hospital, where he is serving a life sentence, to a nearby military medical facility, security sources in the prison told dpa.
Egyptian state media confirmed Mubarak was moved after he suffered a stroke.
State television previously reported that doctors used a defibrillator to restart Mubarak's heart after it stopped for a few seconds.
