ABC News in Hawaii is reporting that Rush Limbaugh is in serious condition tonight after being taken to a Honolulu area hospital.

Earlier rumors had indicated that the conservative talk icon had died, but those reports are believed to be false at this time.

Paramedics were reportedly called to the Kahala hotel today where Rush Limbaugh is said to have been vacationing for the holidays.

Severe chest pains were attributed to the reason behind the emergency phone call for medical assistance.

Spokespersons for both the hospital and Rush Limbaugh have not yet commented on the developing story.

Although few details are known, Limbaugh was reportedly transported from the hotel to the hospital via ambulance.

Rush Limbaugh was spotted golfing at Waialae Country Club within the past 48 hours. The exclusive country club and resort is located near the Kahala Hotel and Resort, where Limbaugh was staying prior to his emergency medical care.

During Limbaugh's recent appearance on The Jay Leno Show, the conservative titan of talk commented that he was in good health and feeling great after losing weight and getting fit.
