Former United States President George H W Bush has fallen
at home in the US state of Maine and broken a bone in his
neck.
Spokesman Jim McGrath said that the 91-year-old Bush
was in stable condition and is doing "fine" after
Wednesday's fall.
He said in a tweet that the 41st president will be in a neck
brace.
41 fell at home in Maine today and broke a bone in his
neck. His condition is stable -- he is fine -- but he'll be
in a neck brace.

Bush was hospitalised in Houston in December for about a
week for treatment of shortness of breath. He said he was
"grateful to the doctors and nurses for their superb care"
after his treatment there.
Bush is the oldest living former US president. He served two
terms as Ronald Reagan's vice president before being
elected the nation's president in 1988.
