Indonesia ? Former Indonesian dictator Suharto’s health worsened overnight and he needs a second pacemaker and may require kidney dialysis, a member of the presidential medical team said today.

The 86-year-old, who brutally ruled Indonesia for more than three decades until being toppled by a pro-democracy uprising in 1998, has been in and out of the hospital in recent years for strokes and intestinal bleeding.

He was readmitted Friday to the capital’s Pertamina Hospital after falling ill at home several days ago. Doctors had said his condition was not life-threatening, but that appeared to have changed today.

“We are afraid he could suffer organ failure, so we have recruited some specialists from several hospitals to try everything to avoid organ failure,” Dr. Joko Raharjo told The Associated Press.

“We can say his condition has worsened, is more serious than before … another heart pacemaker needs to be fitted,” he told reporters earlier at the hospital.

Suharto’s kidney and lung functions also had deteriorated and he will likely undergo dialysis, he added. Medications were being administered through an intravenous drip and the former leader was conscious, but drowsy.
