DETROIT — Former Mayor Coleman Young lapsed into critical condition Monday, three weeks after being hospitalized for heart trouble and emphysema.
Young’s condition was upgraded to fair on Aug. 14 after doctors said he no longer needed a ventilator to breathe. But Young, 79, the city’s first black mayor, was re-listed as critical Monday, said Detroit Medical Center spokeswoman Julie Nemeth.
“He’s having some cardiac problems in addition to the advanced pulmonary state that he’s in,” she said.
