The 41st U.S. President, George H.W. Bush, has broken a bone in his neck after a fall Wednesday.
The incident occurred at his home in Kennebunkport, Maine, CNN reported.
Suffering a broken bone in the vertebrae of his neck, Bush remains in hospital in a stable condition.
On Twitter, Bush spokesman Jim McGrath wrote that Bush was fine, but that the former president would have to wear a neck brace.
