Former Sen. Conrad Burns Hospitalized After Stroke

By Beacon Staff

Congressman Denny Rehberg just sent out the following statement at the request of former U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns’ family. The following is from Garrett Burns, the senator’s son:

At approximately 9 pm last night, Senator Conrad Burns was found disoriented by his wife Phyllis at his computer in their home in Arlington, Virginia. Senator Burns was taken to Virginia Hospital Center. Subsequently, he was transferred to a Washington, D.C. hospital where he remains in intensive care. Doctors indicate he suffered an atrial fibrillation and had a stroke.

“The encouragement and support we’ve received are a tremendous comfort to my dad and the rest of the family. Right now, we’re focused on getting Dad healthy.”

The Burns family will try to provide an update within the next 24 hours.
