Michael Brown hospitalized after heart attack

Michael Brown, the former Houston hand surgeon whose personal life has played out in the news for the past couple years, has suffered a heart attack.

According to a court filing in Brown's Houston bankruptcy case, the 56-year-old former physician went into cardiac arrest Oct. 24.

"Dr. Brown remains hospitalized and is incapacitated," the court filing states. "The extent of the damage he has suffered is unknown; however, it appears to be severe and, at this time, counsel has no ability to communicate with Dr. Brown."

No updates had been entered into the court case file by Tuesday, and no information was available from other sources.
