Star Trek star William Shatner was reportedly rushed to the hospital following a health scare.
William, 94, reportedly suffered a health complication connected to an issue with his blood sugar in his Los Angeles home on Wednesday, September 24, according to source reports by TMZ.
The Boston Legal actor reportedly called in for medical attention and was later transported to a local hospital in a Los Angeles Fire Department paramedic vehicle, according to the outlet. That said, William is reportedly “resting comfortably” after the reported incident.
William has not publicly addressed his reported hospitalization. Parade reached out to William’s team for comment.
The Golden Globe-winning actor has opened up about his health strides and setbacks over the years.
In 2016, William, known for his role as Captain Kirk on Star Trek, was faced with fear when doctors thought he had prostate cancer, but it ended up being a false alarm. He was taking testosterone pills, which elevated his PSA levels.
“But during those three months I was living with my death sentence, I spent considerable time thinking about my life, about the lessons I’ve learned, the places I’ve been, the miracles I’ve seen, all of those encounters and events and experiences that have been wrapped together into one great burst of energy called life,” William wrote in his 2018 memoir, Live Long And…: What I Learned Along the Way. “And based on that I want to share with you, for the first time, my secret to live a good, long life.”
However, William suffers from tinnitus, a ringing or buzzing in the ear when no sound is present.
“Over the years, I’ve had many ups and downs with my tinnitus,” he said in a June clip on the Tinnitus Quest website. “I know from firsthand experience just how difficult it can get. I’ve also observed how tinnitus has affected friends and colleagues.”
