Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was temporarily hospitalized last month for an undisclosed illness, court officials confirmed on April 3.
The court’s public information office told The Epoch Times that on the evening of March 20, the justice “felt ill during an event in Philadelphia.”
“Out of an abundance of caution, he agreed with his security detail’s recommendation to see a physician before the three-hour drive home. After that examination and the administration of fluids for dehydration, he returned home that night, as previously planned,” the office said.
“Justice Alito was thoroughly checked by his own physician, and he returned to work the following Monday for oral argument,” the office added.
The office did not disclose the nature of Alito’s health issue.
