William J. Schroeder is returning to the specially equipped apartment that he occupied last April near the Humana Heart Institute in Louisville, Ky., but a hospital spokesman said there is no plan for the world’s longest-living mechanical heart patient to return to his Indiana hometown. “There are no plans for him to move back to Jasper as yet,” said Dr. Allan Lansing, director of Humana. Schroeder spent a month in the apartment in April but was forced to return to the hospital May 6 after suffering the second stroke he has experienced since receiving the artificial heart last November.
