David Hasslehoff Owes His Life to Swooning Hotel Clerk  7/12/06

David Hasselhoff owes his life to a London hotel clerk who literally swooned at his feet seconds after he accidentally slashed his wrist in a shaving accent.

The America's Got Talent judge severed a tendon in his right wrist after shattering a chandelier in his hotel room bathroom and had to be rushed to hospital.

But he fears that if an overwhelmed clerk, who came to his aid after hearing his cries for help, had passed out in front of him, he would never have made it.

He explains, "It was really early in the morning and I said, 'Help, help, please, and I went over with blood spurting everywhere, and she started to faint.

"I said, 'No, no, no... don't faint.' I grabbed her with my foot and I said, 'Excuse me, can you tell me the number for 911 here in London.'"

Hasselhoff now has his wrist in a cast following the shaving mishap, which took place on 29 June (06).
