Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) said Thursday that he is unsure if Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is alive following weeks of speculation since the lawmaker was hospitalized during a medical emergency last month.

McConnell was hospitalized in June for a medical event that his office has not disclosed. The event has triggered questions about whether he will be able to finish his term, as his staff has offered scant details.
