CNN television network's founder Ted Turner has announced in a rare interview that he has been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia, according to reports.
The 79-year-old billionaire businessman's first interview in years is set to air this weekend on CBS Sunday Morning, where he sits down with Ted Koppel to discuss the details about the disease. A preview of the interview was released by CBS on Friday.
"It's a mild case of what people have as Alzheimer's. It's similar to that, but not nearly as bad. Alzheimer's is fatal. Thank goodness I don't have that," Turner can be heard saying in the preview.
