North Carolina congressman Walter Jones in hospice, wife says

 

Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) is in hospice care, his wife Joe Anne Jones told NBC affiliate WITN Saturday.

 

His “health has declined after sustaining a broken hip last week” Jones' office said in a statement. “He is now in hospice care. The family asks for your prayers, and for their privacy to be respected during this difficult time.”

 

The 75-year-old representative has not been able to attend votes on the House floor since September because of an undisclosed illness.

 

Jones underwent surgery for a broken hip on Jan. 15, per WITN.

 

He has served in Congress for 24 years.
