"Just visited Jeff Conaway. He is stable & looks like he will recover from his pneumonia," Dr Drew Tweeted late Friday night.

"Not an OD like press is alleging & certainly not dead."

Phil Brock, a rep for Jeff also confirmed to RadarOnline.com that the star has been "showing some improvement."

Conway was rushed to a Los Angeles area hospital by ambulance earlier last week after being found unconscious in his home.

The actor has a history of drug addiction and was featured on Celebrity Rehab in 2008.
