Former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff Hospitalized

David Hasselhoff has been hospitalized in Los Angeles Medical Center. "Mitch", former Baywatch star was taken on sunday to the hospital to have a minor surgery to remove something above his eye, according to the Associated Press.

Representatives said that he will be out on monday.

Hasselhoff, 55, was treated in hospital last year October 2007 due to alcoholism.

Court documents released last week show Hasselhoff's divorce settlement calls for him to pay $25,000 a month to support ex-wife Pamela Bach and their two teenage daughters. Bach and Hasselhoff share joint custody. He and Bach were married in 1989 and divorced last 2006.

Released Autopsy Findings of Heath Ledgers Death

Heath Ledger's autopsy finally announced by New York City Medical Examiner's Office.

"We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications," they said in a statement.

"Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine," the medical examiner's spokeswoman, Ellen Borakove, said in a written statement.

"While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage," it added.

Medical experts also warned of the dangers of mixing prescription drugs.

"All the medications listed are narcotic painkillers or are used as tranquilizers, anti-anxiety drugs or sleeping medications. Those medications can have a synergistic effect and can reduce the breathing rate to bring on death," said Richard A. Rawson, a UCLA professor of psychiatry and associate director of its Integrated Substance Abuse Programs.

"For someone taking medication for sleep and pain on a regular basis, it is possible to take them and to become intoxicated," he said in a telephone interview.
