Tracy Morgan treated for exhaustion

PARK CITY, Utah, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Tracy Morgan's publicist says the actor and comedian passed out due to "exhaustion and altitude" while attending Utah's Sundance Film Festival.

Morgan's new movie "Predisposed," which co-stars Jesse Eisenberg and Melissa Leo, is screening at the festival.

ABC News reported the "30 Rock" star and former "Saturday Night Live" cast member was at the Creative Coalition Spotlight Awards in Park City where he was being honored with the Spotlight Initiative Award when he collapsed and was taken to a hospital Sunday.

Morgan's representative released a statement early Monday denying reports that said the recovering alcoholic, who was twice arrested for driving under the influence several years ago, seemed intoxicated at the festival, ABC News said.

"From a combination of exhaustion and altitude, Tracy is seeking medical attention … He is with his fiancee and grateful to the Park City Medical Center for their care. Any reports of Tracy consuming alcohol are 100 percent false," said the statement from Morgan's publicist.

Morgan, 43, also suffers from diabetes and underwent a kidney transplant in 2010.
