Mitch McConnell health rumours have intensified after a forensic psychologist examined the Kentucky senator's newly released 'proof of life' photo, arguing that the image appears to show a man still seriously weakened after weeks away from public view. The photograph, released with a statement from McConnell over the weekend, shows him seated beside his wife, Elaine Chao, holding a copy of The Washington Post.
The news came after McConnell said he had been hospitalised following a fall at home that left him briefly unconscious, before developing pneumonia during his recovery. He said doctors had ruled out broken bones, concussion, heart attack, stroke, tumours and haemorrhages, and confirmed he had moved from hospital care to a rehabilitation centre.
