- Share via
With his condition still a closely held secret, former New York crime boss John Gotti was expected to remain in a hospital for several weeks, one of his lawyers said.
Gotti, in the advanced stages of throat cancer, was being treated in the intensive care unit at St. John’s Regional Health Center in Springfield.
Gotti had been imprisoned in Marion, Ill., but has not left the hospital since Sept. 13.
Gotti was sentenced to life in prison for murder by a federal jury in 1992.
