NEW YORK - State Sen. John Marchi was expected to be released from the hospital on Friday after suffering a fainting spell at a Catholic foundation dinner in Manhattan.
Marchi, who represents Staten Island and is the longest-serving legislator in America, collapsed and fell off his chair Thursday evening, said Gerry McLaughlin, his press secretary.
Marchi, 85, was awake when doctors escorted him out of the Grand Ballroom at The Waldorf-Astoria hotel, his press secretary said.
McLaughlin said Marchi's wife was with him at the time and later went home for the night, a sign Marchi was doing well after being admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital. Marchi, a Republican, has been in office for more than 50 years.
He plans to retire this year.
NBC anchor Brian Williams postponed his speech at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner by a few minutes while doctors helped Marchi.
