UPDATED: Bill Apter of 1Wrestling.com received a full statement from Jake Robert's attorney regarding his condition. The statement in full is below:

"For those that do not know, I am Jake’s attorney and manager, but more importantly his very dear friend and roommate. The truth about the current situation is as follows: Jake has been under the weather for at least a week, may be closer to two weeks, and was told he had the flu and was run down from his travel schedule.  Despite not feeling well, Jake made a point to make a show for our very good friend, Sinn Bohdi, in Las Vegas.  On that flight, Jake experienced extreme chest tightness and trouble breathing. Upon landing in Las Vegas, he was rushed to the hospital where we learned he had pneumonia in both lungs and had frighteningly little lung function. He is being aggressively treated for that now.

During his testing, the doctors also noticed an abnormality in his brain.  The initial diagnosis is that this is from his time taking bumps as a wrestler, but Jake has a neurologist who is investigating.  At this point, Jake’s condition is not known completely. It will take some time to find out the answers. However, to clear up a few rumors, Jake did not pass out on the plane. He was alert and awake while notifying the flight attendants of his pain and shortness of breath. Jake was induced to a “coma-like” state in order to effectively treat the pneumonia.  Jake has not been completely alert until now due to that treatment.  Drugs or alcohol have no bearing on this event despite the internet rumors. Jake was doing great and received a clean bill of health on his PET scan after his leg cancer procedure in May. Hopefully that is still the case now.

To the many supporters, thank you very much from Jake’s team and family. Jake is awake and alert now. It will be his decision when to update the public from this point forward. We appreciate your respect for our privacy.

Original Story

Jake "The Snake" Roberts has been moved to a different hospital in Las Vegas to better assist his fight with double pneumonia. According to PWInsider and additional information from Diamond Dallas Page, Roberts is also still being tested for a mass that has been found on his brain which could be related to the bumps taken during his lengthy wrestling career.

It should also be noted that the original story of Jake "The Snake" Roberts collapsing on a plane is not correct. Roberts actually told one of the crew members on the plane that something was wrong so they could call ahead for an ambulance. DDP made the mistake due to Roberts being unconscious when he was receiving treatment in an ICU unit.

Obviously, more updates are expected daily regarding Robert's health condition.
