Burt had been trying to cure himself of the flu and cope with the symptoms at home for the past few days. Unfortunately, the symptoms got much worse and he was admitted to the hospital. The rep said that Reynolds was moved to the intensive care unit of the hospital earlier today after his physicians concluded that he was "severely dehydrated."
