US Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) lies on a gurney after reportedly suffering a seizure at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, 17 May, 2008.

He was taken by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital, and then transported by helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Kennedy's personal physician, Dr. Larry Ronan said: "Preliminary tests have determined that he has not suffered a stroke and is not in any immediate danger...

"[He] will undergo further evaluation to determine the cause of the seizure, and a course of treatment will be determined at that time."
