Hilton Head Town Council member suffers heart attack, in intensive care

Hilton Head Island Town Councilman John Safay was being treated in the intensive-care unit of Hilton Head Hospital on Friday night after suffering a heart attack, town manager Steve Riley said.

Safay, 62, collapsed while playing tennis Friday afternoon, Riley said.

"I don't think they'll know more until (today)," Riley said.

Safay was first elected in 2001 to represent Ward 4 on the island's east side.
