An Ohio State University official says 95-year-old former astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn has been hospitalized for more than a week. But spokesperson Hank Wilson isn't sure why.

Glenn had a heart valve replacement in 2014. Since then he had a small stroke and developed macular degeneration.
