Andy Beshear said this week that he received two calls from agencies suggesting Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., died while he was in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YF3Yao2KZWI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">an interview<\/a> with Katie Couric uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, Beshear, a Democrat, did not specify which agencies allegedly called him with the news or when the calls were made.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In fact, I&#8217;d gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he&#8217;d passed,&#8221; said Beshear, who has served as <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/state-and-local\/governors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">governor<\/a> since December 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News Digital reached out to Beshear and McConnell&#8217;s offices for comment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/somebody-needs-do-something-gop-senators-split-tuberville-demands-mcconnell-answers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>GOP SENATORS SPLIT AS TUBERVILLE DEMANDS MCCONNELL ANSWERS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After nearly a month of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/health-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">being hospitalized<\/a>, McConnell&#8217;s office released a lengthy statement on July 12 saying he was being treated for a fall he suffered in June. A picture of him in a hospital bed alongside his wife was also released.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the announcement, there was speculation about what had happened to McConnell, given that his office did not reveal why he was in the hospital for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency dispatch audio from June 14, the day McConnell was hospitalized, revealed he was &#8220;unconscious&#8221; and may have suffered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">heart attack<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/politics\/this-not-normal-aoc-unloads-mcconnells-prolonged-absence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>&#8216;THIS IS NOT NORMAL&#8217;: AOC UNLOADS ON MCCONNELL&#8217;S PROLONGED ABSENCE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My doctors have confirmed that I didn\u2019t break any bones or suffer a concussion,&#8221; McConnell said in the statement last weekend. &#8220;I didn\u2019t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don\u2019t have any tumors or hemorrhages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Two days before the longtime GOP leader shared more about his condition, Beshear posted on social media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dem-governor-escalates-mcconnell-health-demands-cites-response-past-trump-health-concerns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">demanding that McConnell be more transparent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public\u2019s concerns with the former president\u2019s health,&#8221; Beshear wrote, seemingly a reference to former President Joe Biden. &#8220;I\u2019m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Beshear ended the post by urging McConnell to &#8220;end the crazy speculation&#8221; and &#8220;just tell us what&#8217;s going on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On July 8, Beshear also wrote a letter to the 84-year-old lawmaker requesting that he &#8220;fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of your health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McConnell&#8217;s doctor said he &#8220;developed pneumonia&#8221; early in his hospitalization but &#8220;responded rapidly to antibiotic treatment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McConnell said he intends to return to the Senate, but his office has given no timeline on when he&#8217;ll be able to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/kentucky-governor-says-he-received-2-calls-from-agencies-indicating-mcconnell-had-passed\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/kentucky-governor-says-he-received-2-calls-from-agencies-indicating-mcconnell-had-passed <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kentucky Gov.
