Boughton Collapses at Avon Event.

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Mark Boughton suffered a seizure at a candidate event in Avon Thursday evening. Boughton was conscious when EMTs assisted the Danbury mayor into an ambulance.

Boughton underwent surgery for the removal of a brain tumor last summer and has appeared to enjoy a robust recovery.

The well-attended candidate forum was held at the North House. Candidates had finished speaking to the crowd and were mingling with the audience when Boughton collapsed.

Updates as they are received.
