Publicist JoAnn Geffen said that Cassidy was in a Fort Lauderdale-area hospital with liver and kidney failure.

She said he was in a private room, conscious and surrounded by family.

Geffen said there was nothing “imminent” about his condition, and doctors were hoping to “keep him as well as they can until they can find another liver”.

Earlier, his representative said Cassidy was in pain and taken to the hospital on Wednesday.
