NY Post Report
According to the *New York Post*, William Shatner, 94, was taken to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon due to a blood sugar problem, as reported by TMZ.
I read that he actually called 911 himself before anyone else got involved, and they took him in just to get checked out. Apparently, he’s doing okay now and is resting comfortably, which is good to hear.

Shatner’s Health
I’ve always been a huge fan of William Shatner, of course, best known as Captain Kirk. It’s been inspiring to see him talk so openly about his health battles. Just recently, he shared that he was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma and thankfully, after surgery and some really strong immunotherapy, he’s doing much better – he even said it saved his life! It’s also heartbreaking to learn that he’s been dealing with constant ringing in his ears – tinnitus – ever since an accident on the original *Star Trek* set way back in the 1960s. He’s truly a resilient person.
Even after some health issues, William Shatner has stayed busy. In 2021, at the age of 90, he famously traveled to space on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket, describing the journey as deeply meaningful.
Shatner Stays Active
William Shatner has remained active in public recently, appearing at events like the Saturn Awards and being seen around Los Angeles. A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) indicated he’s doing well, despite jokingly admitting to enjoying a bit too much food.
