Former President Bill Clinton was spotted at in airport with a portable defibrillator, sparking questions about the 79-year-old's health.

As Fox News report, photographs taken in the Hamptons show someone accompanying the former president and his wife, Hillary, carrying what appeared to be a medical device. The New York Post reported that it resembled a Propaq MD Air Medical Bag.

This comes two months after Clinton was seen stumbling on a New York City sidewalk outside the 92NY, a cultural center in the Big Apple. He was attending an event for his book, "First Gentleman," a political thriller he co-authored with James Patterson, according to the Post.

In 2004, Clinton underwent quadruple bypass surgery. At the time, ABC News reported that doctors said Clinton narrowly avoided a major heart attack and had nearly 100% blockage in some of his arteries when he underwent surgery.

At the time, Clinton appeared on "Good Morning America," stating, "That was my fault. I don't blame my doctors or anybody else. … I was insufficiently vigilant."

After another heart surgery in 2010, Clinton started eating a near-vegan diet, leading to PETA naming him its "2010 Person of the Year."

According to the Fox report, the former president has also experienced more recent health challenges, including a 2021 hospitalization for a urinary tract infection, a battle with COVID-19 in 2022 and another hospitalization for the flu.
