But: - Egypt's Mubarak unconscious and on respirator, not clinically dead - two security sources tell Reuters - washingtonpost - Mubarak's lawyer says ousted leader is not dead.
The last few deposed dictators were quite publicly found to have stashed large chunks of their country's cash in private foreign accounts as a "golden parachute" of sorts. And to no one's surprise, the country tends to want that money back after the dictator escapes. I'd bet something like this is the primary reason behind them squabbling over the legally-dead status of Mubarak.
