PARK CITY, Utah -- The publicist for comedian and "30 Rock" cast member Tracy Morgan says the actor wasn't drinking when he collapsed at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Publicist Lewis Kay says Morgan is grateful to the Park City Medical Center for their care after he suffered from "a combination of exhaustion and altitude" on Sunday. Park City's elevation is 7,000 feet.

Morgan was escorted from the Creative Coalition Spotlight Awards ceremony Sunday night at the festival.

Kay says Morgan is seeking medical attention and is with his fiancee. He says hospital officials report no drugs or alcohol were found in Morgan's system.
