Attorney: Chicago woman vomits blood in Indonesian jail

CHICAGO (AP) - An attorney for a Chicago woman convicted in her mother's killing while on vacation in Indonesia says she is seeking medical treatment after vomiting blood.

Heather Mack is serving a 10-year sentence in an Indonesian prison for helping her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, kill her mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, at a resort in August 2014.

A statement from her attorney, Michael D. Elkin, says Mack vomited blood Wednesday morning but it wasn't known how much blood she lost. The statement says efforts were being coordinated to have Mack taken to a hospital to identify the source of the internal bleeding.

Elkin says in the statement that he imagines that the incident will be nothing more than just a health scare.
