Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was been declared clinically dead. The 84-year-old politician reportedly suffered a stroke Tuesday morning, just a few weeks after receiving a life sentence for the deaths caused last year by Arab Spring protests against his prolonged presidency. Within hours, Mubarak was pronounced clinically dead. He's still on life support, but not likely to recover.

Initially, Reuters was told by the military that they could not use the term "clinically dead" because he was being kept alive. One source described his condition as "completely unconscious ... using artificial respiration." However, it was enough to elicit "cheering and fireworks" in Tahrir Square, USA Today reports. Does it sound like Mubarak can be put to rest, or should doctors keep working on him?

Why on earth would you ask us. It is not our call to make. That's a matter for his next of kin.

He's said he is afraid of the doctors in the prison. I'd say he has good reason.

...because he was in custody of his nation for committing genocide. I really don't think his family has much of a say now. They didn't want him that facility begin with.

The question was not about whether to hold him in custody or where to hold him in custody, was it?

"Clinically dead" means he is over on the Cayman Islands playing canasta with Ken Lay and living the good life in his "retirement."
