London, Apr 21: Famed mathematician Stephen Hawking was rushed to a hospital on Monday and was seriously ill, Cambridge University said.
The university said Hawking has been fighting a chest infection for several weeks, and was being treated at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, the university city north of London.
“Professor Hawking is very ill,” said Gregory Hayman, the university’s head of communications. “He is undergoing tests. He has been unwell for a couple of weeks.”
Later in the afternoon, Hayman said Hawking was “now comfortable but will be kept in hospital overnight.”
