(Jamaica Gleaner) – Vice-Chancellor Emeritus of the University of the West Indies (UWI), Professor Rex Nettleford, has been admitted to hospital in Washington, DC, after collapsing at a hotel in the United States capital Wednesday evening.
Jamaica’s Ambassador to Washington, DC, Anthony Johnson, told The Gleaner that Nettleford was unconscious when he visited the hospital on Thursday.
“The latest I heard is that he remains unconscious and that is a major concern for his doctors,” Johnson said.
A statement from the UWI yesterday said Nettleford was in Washington, DC, to attend a fund-raising gala for the institution.
