Erik Menendez was rushed to hospital after being diagnosed with a serious medical condition.
The 54-year-old was hospitalized after being diagnosed with kidney stones, according to TMZ. His family wouldn’t confirm the condition to ABC News.
Erik and his older brother Lyle, 57, were imprisoned for life after murdering their parents Kitty and Jose inside their swanky Beverly Hills home in 1989.
Following a years-long campaign for their case to be reviewed, a judge decided to reduce their sentences to 50 years to life, meaning they are now eligible for parole.
The brothers are set to face a parole hearing in late August, with attorney Mark Geragos telling TMZ ‘it’s a serious condition’.
Geragos told the outlet that he is being treated behind bars at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego.

Geragos said: ‘I just think he should be parole furloughed, I think is the proper term, and he could be medically furloughed in advance of the hearing so that he can work with the parole attorney and get up to speed and be ready and do it and give it his best shot. I think that it’s the only fair and equitable thing to do.’
