Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was suddenly hospitalized on Friday while serving a 27-year prison sentence for attempting a coup. The 70-year-old ex-president woke up with severe chills and vomiting, according to his son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, who asked for prayers on social media. Bolsonaro, who served as Brazil's president from 2019 to 2022, is currently imprisoned for his role in attempting to overthrow the government following his electoral defeat to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in late 2022.
