March 12, 2015 by Veronica Villafañe

Raul BenoitUnivision correspondent Raúl Benoit is in a Miami Hospital after suffering a stroke.

The 54 year-old journalist is currently in an induced coma, but his daughter sent a message on Twitter indicating he was in “stable, but delicate” condition.

Raúl has been hospitalized since March 2. His son Felipe has used Raúl’s Twitter account to post updates and thank well-wishers, saying the prognosis is “optimistic.”

Raúl, who worked as a Bogotá-based correspondent for Univision starting in 1987, has survived a kidnapping an multiple assassination attempts stemming from his reporting about drug cartels and corruption in his native Colombia.

He has been an investigative reporter for Univision’s news magazine “Aquí y Ahora” since 2001.
