LIMA - It was falsely reported this morning that former president Alberto Fujimori had died after he was taken to a hospital emergency room. 

The former Peruvian president is serving time in prison for his connection to a incident in which civilians were killed in a counter-terrorism raid.

The former president was taken to a cancer hospital Wednesday morning for vascular problems, and it was said that his condition was "complicated." But the rumors of Fujimori's death were refuted when El Comercio reported that "in the last two days he has had (cardio)vascular problems," according to his personal physician, congressman Alejandro Aguinaga.

"The state of his health has been complicated for the last two days. He's being evaluated....he has vascular problems that are not connected to his cancer. I'm currently with him," Aguinaga told El Comercio.

Aguinaga said that he could not give any more information at the moment. The latest reporting is that Fujimori has been taken back to his cell at Diroes prison in Lima.
