Ted Turner Tells ‘60 Minutes’ He Has Lewy Body Dementia
CNN founder Ted Turner, who was famously erratic during his career as a television industry pioneer, said he was misdiagnosed as being manic depressive and now says he is suffering from Lewy body dementia.
According to Broadcasting Cable, Turner told 60 Minutes’ Ted Koppel that Lewy body dementia is like Alzheimer’s, but not fatal.
He says, it leaves him tired and forgetful.
Turner says he does not watch much news these days, but tunes in to CNN occasionally.
