Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said this week that he received two calls from agencies suggesting Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., died while he was in the hospital.
In an interview with Katie Couric uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, Beshear, a Democrat, did not specify which agencies called him with the news or when the calls were made.
„In fact, I’d gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he’d passed,“ said Beshear, who has served as governor since December 2019.
Fox News Digital reached out to Beshear and McConnell’s offices for comment.

After nearly a month of being hospitalized, McConnell’s office released a lengthy statement July 12 saying he was being treated for a June fall. A picture of him in a hospital bed alongside his wife was also released.
Prior to the announcement, there was speculation about what had happened to McConnell, given that his office did not reveal why he was in the hospital for weeks.
Emergency dispatch audio from June 14, the day McConnell was hospitalized, revealed he was „unconscious“ and may have suffered a heart attack.

„My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion,“ McConnell said in the statement last weekend. „I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages.“
Two days before the longtime GOP leader shared more about his condition, Beshear posted on social media demanding that McConnell be more transparent.
„I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health,“ Beshear wrote, seemingly a reference to former President Joe Biden. „I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health.“
Beshear ended the post by urging McConnell to „end the crazy speculation“ and „just tell us what’s going on.“
On July 8, Beshear also wrote a letter to the 84-year-old lawmaker requesting that he „fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of your health.“
McConnell’s doctor said he „developed pneumonia“ early in his hospitalization but „responded rapidly to antibiotic treatment.“
McConnell said he intends to return to the Senate, but his office has given no timeline on when he’ll be able to do so.
