The ambulance raced down London's streets at 3 O clock in the morning, and in side lay a dying King. Aged only fourty eight, King Josef Dorsal had had a heart attack asleep in his bed, not helped by his huge cholestoral level and his immense unfitness. As he was rushed into the city's top hospital, he was delivered immediately to the emergency room, unconscious. His heart was on the verge of collapsing and if they were going to save him the doctors, the best in Hogsweat, were going to have to act fast.
However, it was unfortunate that his heart stopped eight seconds before the doctors could operate. Running out of blood and energy, King Dorsal was on the point of death before Doctors gave him an aesthetic heart. It is said Dorsal's heart condition is extremely critical, as he nearly died before the best in Hogsweat saved him from his certain fate.
It is unknown whether Josef Dorsal will live or die, and it is too early to tell at this stage.

"Oh Gosh!"

Official Grey House Statement

I am truly horrified and shocked at the tragic news of King Dorsal's sudden illness and hospitalisation. I count the King as a close personal friend of not only myself, but of this glorious nation; this man, this glorious monarch, has led his country through countless bloody conflicts and terrible times, always with his head held high and never bowing to the forces of evil that besieged his nation.

Tonight I shall be leading a prayer in the front lawn of the Grey House with the rest of the nation, praying for the well-being of this giant, well-meaning and wonderful man. I know that, even in the catastrophic event that King Dorsal were to pass from this tortured realm, he will be by the hand of god and be his faithful servant, as he was his peoples servant whilst he was alive.

I shall end by saying simply; God Bless King Dorsal, and God Bless Hogsweat and its people.

President Xavier Martin
