Norwegian former prime minister Thorbjørn Jagland has been hospitalised, according to reports published on 24 February, with one outlet claiming the 75-year-old may have attempted to take his own life. His lawyer has denied this.
The reports came from Norwegian news site iNyheter, which cited an unnamed 'rock-solid source' to claim Jagland was admitted to hospital during the week of 16 February in serious condition. The hospital treating him has not been identified, and Norwegian authorities have not issued an official statement on his medical status.
