LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Illusionist Roy Horn, half of the famed Las Vegas duo Siegfried & Roy, may be released by month's end from the Los Angeles hospital where he's recovering from an attack by a white tiger, his publicist said Monday.
Horn, 59, remains in serious but stable condition at UCLA Medical Center, where he was transferred after initially being treated at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas, where he was rushed after the October 3 attack at The Mirage Hotel.
Dave Kirvin, the duo's publicist, told CNN that Horn is still undergoing treatment for his injuries, but his doctors are optimistic the animal trainer and performer will be well enough to continue recovering at home in Las Vegas within a couple of weeks.
"He's getting better every day," said Kirvin.
"He is moving now, little by little," Siegfried Fischbacher told NBC's "Today" show. "[He's] speaking a few words ... but this develops also every day."
