| The cabinet's most senior intelligence adviser was in a coma last night five days after being found unconscious at his London home, according to Whitehall officials.
Alex Allan, described by his colleagues as an extremely fit man and keen on sports, was rushed to hospital on Monday after he was discovered unconscious at his home where he has lived alone since the death of his Australian wife last year.
"He is seriously ill and undergoing tests to try and find out what is in his system," an official said yesterday. Officials dismissed as "nonsense" suggestions that he might have been poisoned.
He was undergoing toxicological tests but the police said they were not treating his illness as suspicious. Scotland Yard first got involved because two police officers happened to be at the west London hospital where he was taken. They recognised his name and began making inquiries, according to officials.
