Grease star Jeff Conaway did not overdose on prescription medication, according to Dr. Drew Pinsky, who visited the troubled star in the hospital late Friday night.
The 60-year-old actor was previously described as being in his "final moments", but following his visit, Dr. Drew posted a message on his Twitter page claiming otherwise.
"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.
