'Secretly Deceased?' Mitch McConnell Staff Refuses Proof of Life After 37 Days

Mitch McConnell's whereabouts and condition remain shrouded in mystery 37 days after the Senate minority leader was rushed by ambulance to a Washington, D.C., hospital, with his staff refusing to comment about him, according to a new report.

The silence follows a 14 June 911 call reporting that McConnell had apparently suffered a heart attack, was unconscious and had received CPR before being taken to George Washington University Hospital. Since then, the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican has missed dozens of Senate votes and vanished from the public view, with no in-person sightings by journalists and no on-camera appearances to reassure voters he is fit to serve.
