Dame Enda Everage star Barry Humphries not in ‘unresponsive’ state, says hospital
ok.co.ukReports that Australian entertainer Barry Humphries is in an "unresponsive" state at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney have been denied by the hospital.
Multiple local media outlets had previously reported on Thursday that Barry had suffered complications following hip surgery and was unresponsive, receiving morphine from doctors.
