Hennessy 'stable' after falling ill
By Aabida Allaham (T&T Express)
VETERAN television presenter Allyson Hennessy has been hospitalised after falling seriously ill.
Hennessy, who hosted the programme Community Dateline for several years, was said to have fallen into a coma and was rushed to the St Clair Medical Centre for treatment last Friday.
Relatives of the television personality have declined to say what is the cause of her illness, but insist she is stable.
Sister Sheelagh Besson yesterday told the Express doctors have informed them that Hennessey has stabilised and "they are hopeful that she would be responsive soon".
"We don't think her medical condition is important. What is important is that people know that she is stable and that they should keep her in their prayers," she said.
Hennessey, who is also known for her colourful Carnival commentary, owns the Veni Mangé West Indian restaurant with her sister, Rosemary Hezekiah, and was married to radio personality Emmett Hennessy.
