Tracy Morgan Falls Down Unconscious At Sundance- Blames Altitude
Shortly after giving a speech at an awards ceremony at Sundance, Tracy Morgan was outside and collapsed and was unconscious. An ambulance was called and for the next few hours everyone said it was because Tracy was wasted. Turns out that at least according to what the doctors said, which may or may not be true, that Tracy had no drugs or alcohol in his system. His spokesperson said Tracy collapsed because of exhaustion and the altitude. I am glad he is ok. It is not like the doctors have an obligation to tell the world if someone was knocked up full of meds or booze. Unless someone dies from it, then you are probably never going to know the answer.

is he not diabetic?
because i was in holidays in the alpes(french mountains)this year and my boyfriend felt faint and the first stuff that the doctor asked him if he was diabetic and if he was drunk or drugged ( in fact,there was a trouble of meds)
Was wondering the same as you, Enty - doctors don't have to say anything about it, why would they?
@pomme, I thought he was diabetic, too.
Hope he's okay. Been watching him since SNL (That bird's a LIAR!) and I still love 30 Rock.
He definitely has diabetes.
I was under the impression that he was actually getting an award. Did they actually make "Hard to Watch"? Will the real Tracy EGOT?
He had a kidney transplant last year. Hope he is ok.
Could be....he needs to be more careful.
He IS diabetic. And a high altitude is no joke. Every time I visit my relatives in CO, I feel a little faint and lightheaded the second I step off the plane.
This is absolutely a plausible explanation for his behavior. In addition to diabetes, which if uncontrolled may appear if someone is drunk, he is also a transplant patient on some heavy duty anti-rejection drugs. Severe altitude sickness can put fluid on your lungs and even kill you.
@CaliGirlinVA: thank you for the informations
Poor Brian Fellows :(
Yeah, I'm going to cut him a little bit of a break because of all his known health issues.
@EmEyeKay: Hopefully, we will fix this in editing!
Aside from diabetes (which he's been careless about managing, at least i the past), he's had a kidney transplant -- he may also have high blood pressure.
I went to CO for Thanksgiving, and I had no idea about the altitude (geography was never my strong suit) and I couldnt understand why I was feeling so horrible - like I was jet lagged after changing a bunch of time zones. It took me a couple of days to figure it out! :P
Could be legit. I've been there. Folks told me to take antihistamines to help with the altitude. It's up there, without a doubt.
i dont have all of his health problems, and I have fainted from altitude. My dad has diabetes, and he recently had one of those episodes (diabetic shock) when he appearred to be drunk and was all woozy...very scary stuff.
Wow, you guys are really educating me :) I went to Sedona over xmas with the ex (don't ask, lol) and he was seriously huffing and puffing on the hikes, while I felt great, honestly. He chalked it up to the altitude, but I was wondering if he's just letting himself go. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt :)
One of my co-workers is diabetic and he was telling us he passed out on a plane and wet himself one time. One of my close friends is also diabetic and had a hypoglycaemic incident where she appeared drunk and the manager in a bar wouldn't let us lay her on the floor. We had to call an ambulance and they gave her the liquid glucose to rouse her. It was very close to her having to be hospitalised. They are both insulin dependent diabetics.
I'm inclined to give Tracy the benefit of the doubt here.
Yep, I've fainted (when I was young) from altitude. I always take it easy the first 24-36 hours when I go to Colorado for a break. Have to drink LOTS of water to avoid a headache and dehydration.
I was in CO for a training class. We're below sea level here in NOLA, so I got light headed as soon as I arrived. I had to do little presentations during the class. Every time I got up and started speaking, I almost passed out. The instructor said just present from the chair. Speaking and sitting even winded me. I can't imagine giving a whole speech. And I don't have the health issues that Tracy has.
When I heard this over the weekend my spontaneous thought was 'uh oh, he had a kidney transplant and he has all kinds of health issues. hope they figure it out' Not everyone in H'wood is strung out or drunk.
Y'know, Enty, if you're going to censor comments at least give a reason. What's so awful about saying that drinking was still the most likely reason for this collapse? The guy's had like a million DUI's.
B.Profane, Enty almost never censors comments unless they're extremely obscene. I'm sure this was another Blogger problem. Comments get lost or duplicated all the time.
