SALT LAKE CITY -- It's not unusual for celebrity mishaps to go viral after a big awards show. But video of a reporter slurring her words following Sunday night's Grammys has many people worried about the woman's health.
Serene Branson is a reporter for KCBS in L.A. During her live report she suddenly began slurring her words.
News reports surfaced saying she had suffered a stroke, and was hospitalized for tests. However, her station's website now leaves that diagnosis in doubt.
It says simply: "Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized."
So what really happened? Did she have a stroke or was it something else?
Dr. Robert Hoesch from the University Hospital shared his thoughts with KSL's Jed Boal during an interview on KSL 5 News at 6:30.
