PARK CITY -- 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.

In a photo taken Jan. 24, 2012, the Golden Gate Bridge with the San Francisco skyline in the background is seen at dusk in a view from the Marin Headlands near Sausalito, Calif. The bridge was heralded as an engineering marvel when it opened in 1937. It was the world's longest suspension span and had been built across a strait that critics said was too treacherous to be bridged. But as the iconic span approaches its 75th anniversary, the engineers who have overseen it all these years say keeping it up and open has been a feat unto itself. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg)
