David Hasselhoff Hospitalized After Heavy Drinking

Monday, September 21, 2009

David Hasselhoff was at his home in California yesterday when his 17-year-old daughter found he had been drinking heavily. Paramedics were called to the scene and Hasselhoff has been hospitalized.

According to TMZ: "...17-year-old Hayley Hasselhoff called her mother Pamela, claiming David was extremely drunk. One of Pamela's friends called 911, paramedics arrived at the family's home in Encino and took him to the hospital."

Although emercency officials have confirmed they were at Hasselhoff's home, they have not said why. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department said, "We sent an ambulance and a person was transported to a local hospital."

David Hasselhoff was reportedly released from the hospital Sunday evening. Hasselhoff has a history of heavy drinking, and it sounds like it may be time for him to get some help.

This guy has been seriously going down hill quickly.. Someone needs to do a serious intervention or he's going to end up like so many other stars and die of either alcohol poisoning or drug overdose.

The Hoff: No Beer, Just My Ear

Posted Sep 21st 2009 1:05PM by TMZ Staff

David Hasselhoff says he wasn't drunk yesterday -- he wasn't even drinking and yesterday's drama was all a misunderstanding over an ear problem.

As we first reported, paramedics went to Hasselhoff's home yesterday and took him to the hospital -- this, after his daughter Hayley called her mom and sounded an alarm. Pamela says she was told David had been drinking and one of her friends then called 911.

Hasselhoff's people tell us he was being treated by his family doctor for an ear infection and was taking Antivert. Hasselhoff was also taking Antabuse, which prevents alcoholics from drinking. The Hoff's camp says the combination of drugs messed up his equilibrium, he was feeling sick and wasn't able to reach his family doctor.

Team Hasselhoff says when paramedics arrived David decided to go to the hospital -- not because he was drinking but to help with the equilibrium problem.

Hasselhoff's people say he was released an hour after being treated at the hospital.
