Gary Busey was awake and eating Saturday after an apparent cocaine overdose left him unconscious in his Malibu home, a hospital spokesman said.

Busey’s condition was upgraded from serious to fair and he could be released today, said Ted Braun, a spokesman for Santa Monica Hospital Medical Center.

The actor’s lawyer requested that no other information be released, Braun said.
