Oscar Pistorius has been taken from prison to hospital amid media reports that the former track star and convicted murderer was suffering from chest pains.
Pistorius was taken to hospital from prison on Thursday morning and was initially expected to return to prison later the same day.
However, Pistorius will now stay overnight in hospital "for observation”.
"He's fine now," Pistorius spokesman Johan van Wyk told The Associated Press.
He added that media reports suggesting Pistorius had suffered a suspected heart attack in jail were untrue.
Pistorius, the double-amputee Olympic runner and multiple Paralympic champion, is serving a six-year jail term for murder over the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
He has served a year of his sentence.
