Gary Busey Nearly Drowns Recovering Pork Chop From Swimming Pool

LOS ANGELES—Actor Gary Busey was flown from his Malibu home to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after he nearly drowned trying to retrieve a pork chop from the bottom of his swimming pool Tuesday. “We’re eating on the patio, and Gary suddenly shouts, ’Let’s have dinner in the pool!’ and starts throwing baby red potatoes and hunks of meat into the water,” said Lupo Risinger, Busey’s friend and next-door neighbor. “Well, the pork chop he threw sank like a stone, and—you know Gary—he wouldn’t come up for air until he had that sucker in his teeth.” Busey is currently listed in “marginally stable” condition.
