Noam Chomsky, 95, Discharged From Hospital, Will Recover At Brazil Home

The report came as the 95-year-old's wife, Valeria Wasserman, dismissed media reports that Noam Chomsky had died, saying in an email to AFP: "It's false. He is well."

American intellectual, linguist and dissident Noam Chomsky was discharged from a hospital in Sao Paolo Tuesday, the facility said, and would continue an undisclosed treatment at home.

The report came as the 95-year-old's wife, Valeria Wasserman, dismissed media reports that Chomsky had died, saying in an email to AFP: "It's false. He is well."

The newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo reported that Chomsky was recently taken to a hospital in the city after a stroke a year ago left him with difficulty to speak and move the right side of his body.
