Clinton Spotted with Portable Defibrillator, Raising Health Concerns
30 Aug
Summary
- Clinton, 79, seen with medical device in Hamptons
- History of serious heart issues, including bypass surgery
- Recent stumbling incident and hospitalizations for infections

As of August 30, 2025, former President Bill Clinton, now 79 years old, is facing renewed scrutiny over his health after being spotted in the Hamptons accompanied by someone carrying what appeared to be a portable defibrillator. This sighting comes just two months after Clinton was seen stumbling on a New York City sidewalk outside a cultural center where he was attending an event for his book.
Clinton's health challenges have been well-documented for over two decades, dating back to his post-White House years. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery, with doctors at the time warning that he had narrowly avoided a major heart attack due to nearly 100% blockage in some of his arteries. Since then, Clinton has had additional heart procedures, including the placement of coronary stents in 2010.
Despite his health issues, Clinton has remained active in public life, though he has experienced more recent setbacks. In 2021, he was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection, and earlier this year, he battled a bout of COVID-19. The former president has also been hospitalized for the flu. As of August 30, 2025, it remains unclear if Clinton's latest medical incident in the Hamptons is part of an ongoing health concern or a precautionary measure.
