Sen. Kennedy becomes ill, wheeled from capitol
Massachussetts Sen. Edward Kennedy was wheeled out of the Capitol on Tuesday after becoming ill during an inaugural lunch for President-elect Barack Obama, according to reports.
Kennedy was wheeled out on a stretcher by medical staff and taken away in an ambulance.
It looked like a seizure, said Sen. Orrin Hatch who was with Kennedy until they reached the ambulance, according to the Washington Post.
Kennedy was diagnosed last year with a cancerous brain tumor after suffering a seizure.
