Former Prime Minister hospitalised following heart attack

President Emeritus and former Nationalist Prime Minister Eddie Fenech Adami, 81, was hospitalised earlier today after he suffered a minor heart attack.

Fenech Adami was reportedly out on a boat with his son Beppe Fenech Adami and their family when he suffered severe chest pain. He was rushed to Mater Dei Hospital where doctors diagnosed a minor heart attack.

In 2011, Fenech Adami underwent an intervention during which a pacemaker was fitted.
