DAVID HASSELHOFF - HASSELHOFF'S ALCOHOL RELAPSE

HASSELHOFF'S ALCOHOL RELAPSE

Troubled TV star DAVID HASSELHOFF was taken to hospital suffering alcohol poisoning twice in three days, according to reports. The 55-year-old former Baywatch star, who has battled alcoholism for years, checked himself into Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Medical Center on 3 December and again on 5 December (07), following drinking binges - his fourth hospitalisation in two months. The National Enquirer claims he was diagnosed with severe alcohol poisoning on both occasions. The tabloid claims Hasselhoff's two daughters with ex-wife Pamela Bach were devastated by his `slip', and even more so when he refused to let them visit him in hospital. The actor has full custody of both girls. Just six months ago, a video his eldest daughter shot of him drunk in a Las Vegas hotel room was leaked on the Internet. Now they fear his addiction will kill him. A source tells the Enquirer, "David was a total mess. He'd urinated on himself. He was drooling and slurring so badly you couldn't understand a word he said." "He goes into the hospital with alcohol poisoning, comes out and says he's cured, then does it again. Taylor and Hayley fear their nightmare will end with a call from cops saying: 'We've found your father dead.'"
