Posted on Nov 27, 2009 @ 03:08PM
David Hasselhoff was rushed to a hospital by ambulance Friday after suffering a seizure, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Hasselhoff's neighbor Christian (he asked that we not use his last name), told RadarOnline.com that he saw the ambulance arrive at Hasselhoff's home. "I asked one of the paramedics how David was doing and he told me his eyes were rolling back into his head, he was drooling and that he'd had a seizure." Unfortunately, said Christian, "this isn't the first time this has happened to him."
Hasselhoff, who has a long history of alcoholism, had been drinking in the past two days. Sources also tell RadarOnline.com that the former Baywatch star has been on anti-seizure medication.
He was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after the seizure. A source on the scene said it was David’s daughter Hayley who called 911.

And while the star has a long history of alcoholism he has consistently denied he was drunk during several incidents that have landed him in the hospital in the past few years. RadarOnline.com has reported exclusively that Hasselhoff has been hospitalized for alcohol poisoning more than five times in the past few years.
His lawyers and public relations people have denied the reports but Hasselhoff went on another bender after the MTV awards in Europe this year and landed in a hospital. Hasselhoff was drinking both before and after Thanksgiving before suffering the seizure that landed him in the hospital.

To keeno........Don't forget........all we know is what we see on the outside of a person, which may be nothing like what's going on on the inside. We are all good at creating the exterior that we wish others to see.

ah that's really sad!
I don't understand why he wants to kill himself, he seems such an upbeat fellow, and doesn't take himself too seriously

This is the height of selfishness...to put your family, especially your child, in the position his poor daughter is put in. I feel so sorry for her.

The choice is theirs to make. No one can make them get sober if they do not want to.
I think "Denial" becomes a very comfortable place for many of them. Trust me.......I've got one in my own family and she would not even hear of getting help!

I have a daughter who is in total denial with her kidney disease and it is so horribly painful watching her pretend all is well.and not take care of herself.I guess we all have somebody who won't look after themself in some way or another.

Shoot1: You are so right. My family is full of alcoholics. They are the nicest people, it's hard to grasp. It's a hereditary disease but can't be controlled until he chooses help. No different than if someone seeked help for becoming Diabetic.

Most people who choose to be actors/actresses are usually shy, backward, anti-social, have inferior complexes, introverts, etc. They become actresses/actors so they can remove themselves temporarily from real life.

You can't lump all actors into a catagory like that

whats really sad red-rose is that so many children watch these people act and think they are tough and what they want to be and it is just an illusion.
