Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak has been hospitalized in Mexico City after falling ill at the World Business Forum, according to various reports including local newspaper Reforma and celebrity news site TMZ on Wednesday.

The 73-year-old was admitted to ABC Hospital in the city after suffering from a possible stroke, Reforma reported. Wozniak's speech was scheduled between 4:20 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. on Wednesday, the second day of the forum.

Insider reached out to representatives for the World Business Forum and Wozniak's website, woz.org, for comment but didn't immediately hear back.

After giving the speech, he told his wife he was "feeling strange" and started exhibiting concerning symptoms, a source with knowledge of the situation told TMZ. His wife said he needed to go to the hospital but Wozniak reportedly declined saying he would be fine.

Upon his wife's insistence, he agreed to go to the hospital, the source said. He appeared to be suffering from vertigo-like symptoms, TMZ reported.

Reforma said that Wozniak is stable but still in the hospital.

Several people on Wozniak's team are flying from the US to Mexico City on a private jet to check in on his condition and bring him back to the US if he needs further treatment, per TMZ.

Wozniak cofounded Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976 and helped build the company's first computers.

He left Apple in 1985 and sold most of his company stock. He is still an active entrepreneur and philanthropist.
