Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno has checked out of a hospital in the northeastern U.S. state of New York, the morning after collapsing during a speech at the University of Rochester.

Speaking to reporters outside the hospital Thursday, Ms. Reno said she "feels fine." She says she apparently fainted Wednesday evening after becoming overheated.

She added that she was running to catch a plane to escape Rochester's wintry snow. Ms. Reno is a candidate for the democratic nomination for Governor of the much warmer southern U.S. state of Florida.

Ms. Reno was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1995.
