There are conflicting reports about the health of ousted Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.
Some media reports say he is clinically dead, but Nile TV said attempts were continuing to revive him.The 84-year-old is said to have had a stroke, and was moved from prison to life support in an army hospital.
Mubarak was removed in last year's uprising, and jailed earlier this month for his role in the death of protesters before his removal.
There have been frequent reports since then that his health has deteriorated, many of which have proved wrong.
The news comes as tens of thousands of people protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square against a move by the ruling military council to assume new powers.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet, who is in the square, says the crowds are following the news reports closely.
The rally was called by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is also claiming victory for its candidate Mohammed Mursi in last weekend's presidential elections.
His rival Ahmed Shafiq, a former prime minister under Mr Mubarak, has also said he has won.
Results are expected to be announced on Thursday.
