Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of popular technology company, Apple, has reportedly been hospitalised in Mexico City on Wednesday, Nov. 8, after suffering a stroke.
According to a report by CNBC, the 73-year-old scientist and tech entrepreneur was scheduled to participate in a World Business Forum event in the Mexican capital’s Santa Fe neighbourhood.
Wozniak completed his speech at the event but later informed his wife that he was “feeling strange”. His wife insisted that he sought medical attention.
While the details remain unclear, TMZ reports that Wozniak might have suffered from vertigo, a condition characterized by dizziness and balance problems.
In 1976, Wozniak founded Apple Computer company, along with Steve Jobs, the longtime Apple CEO who died in 2011.
Their business pioneered personal computing and went on to be the world’s most valuable company, known for the design and functionality of a range of consumer electronics, including laptop and desktop computers, and the iPhone mobile phone.
