Jackson, who was in Brazil to celebrate his 87th birthday,
was diagnosed with a stroke associated with cardiac arrhythmia,
the Albert Einstein hospital said in an e-mailed statement early
Monday morning.
Joe was estranged from Michael - who became one of the world's
most successful and best-known performers - before his 2009
death. He also strayed apart from his wife, Katherine, and many
of his other eight children.
A press representative for the hospital said Jackson continued
to undergo treatment on Monday.
A representative for Jackson could not immediately be reached.
