Quote
"Reports that actor Jean Reno is in the hospital due to a heart attack are false. He is vacationing in the Caribbean and went to a local hospital as a precaution for some discomfort he was feeling due to heartburn and gastroenteritis. It was definitely not a heart attack. He is fine and healthy and enjoying the rest of his vacation traveling in the Caribbean."—Reno's rep2
