 JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Family members said they would leave it to doctors to decide if former dictator Suharto should be removed from life support after almost all of his organ functions failed. Physicians described his condition as "very critical."
The 86-year-old had serious problems with his heart, lungs and kidneys and remained hooked to a ventilator, said Marjo Subiandono, the chief presidential doctor.
Suharto, whose 32-year regime was widely regarded as one of the 20th century's most brutal and corrupt, was rushed to the hospital on Jan. 4. Family members who have since camped out near his room were preparing themselves for the worst after learning Friday that he had suffered multiple organ failure.
