http://www.themoneytimes.com/featured/20090921/david-hasselhoff-has-alcohol-poisoning-again-hospitalized-id-1084734.html Los Angeles, September 21 -- Hollywood actor and TV personality David Hasselhoff has been saved by his teenage daughter once again. The "Baywatch" star's daughter Hayley Hasselhoff raised an alarm after discovering her dad extremely drunk at his home in Encino, California. According to TMZ, seventeen-year-old Hayley called her mother and Hasselhoff's ex-wife actress Pamela Bach for help for her alcoholic father when he collapsed after a drinking binge. David hospitalized after 'booze binge' The gossip website says one of Pamela's friends called 911, and paramedics arrived at the family's home in Encino at around 3.30pm Sunday and took him to the hospital at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical center. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department told The Sun: "We sent an ambulance and a person was transported to a local hospital." Hayley reportedly had kept slapping his father's face to stop him from drifting away, fearing he was going to die. A source in the hospital told the British tabloid Sun that the actor was "barely breathing" on arrival on Saturday. "Pam was at his bedside till 4am," the source added. "This is about the seventh time he's been taken to a hospital over the last few years with alcohol poisoning. How many visits will it take before he dies?" Year's second alcohol poisoning The recent alcohol relapse and subsequent hospitalization is Hasselhoff's second in a year. Back in May, the 57-year-old actor, who starred in the TV shows "Baywatch," "Knight Rider" and "America's Got Talent," was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning. RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that Hasselhoff, who has been battling a severe alcohol addiction for years, has been hospitalized with alcohol poisoning more than five times during the past few years, including his May relapse. Hasselhoff's infamous 'Crawling' video Hasselhoff gained notoriety after a video showing him pitifully drunk and crawling on the floor to try to eat a hamburger, hit the Internet in 2007. The video shot by his other daughter Taylor Ann shows a shirtless, extremely drunk Hasselhoff on the floor trying to eat a Wendy's hamburger in a Las Vegas hotel room. Taylor can be heard pleading: "Tell me you are going to stop." Hasselhoff was awarded primary physical custody and full legal custody of his two daughters in June 2007, following his divorce from Pamela. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
