GLEN COVE, N.Y. — Former CIA Director William J. Casey was in critical condition Sunday at a suburban New York hospital where he had been admitted the day before for treatment of pneumonia, a spokeswoman said.
Casey, who underwent surgery for brain cancer in December, was admitted at about 2 p.m. Saturday to the intensive-care unit at Glen Cove Community Hospital, a private acute-care facility on Long Island, according to hospital spokeswoman Joan Bass.
Bass said she could not comment on the nature of Casey’s treatment but said he was conscious when he was admitted.
