Alcoholic Hasselhoff 'in worrying 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 December 3 and again on December 5, 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 the news, 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 told the Enquirer: "David was a total mess. 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'."
