Pamela Bach’s tragic death
According to TMZ, her death was an apparent suicide, with authorities reporting a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Concerned family members, who had not heard from her in days, discovered her remains when they went to check on her.
Officials confirmed that no suicide note was found at the scene.
Bach-Hasselhoff had a long history in Hollywood, beginning with her film debut in Rumble Fish (1983).
She met David Hasselhoff while guest-starring on Knight Rider, and in 1989, she landed a recurring role on Baywatch as café owner Kaye Morgan.
Her television career also included appearances on The Young and the Restless, The Fall Guy, and Sirens.
Though she stepped away from acting in later years, she made a brief return to the spotlight in 2011 as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother.
She and Hasselhoff were married from 1989 until their divorce in 2006, which became contentious due to financial disputes.
Initially, she received $21,000 a month in alimony, but Hasselhoff later argued that his income had declined, leading to a reduction to $5,000 per month.
By 2017, he claimed to have paid her over $2.5 million in total.
Despite the challenges in her personal life, Bach-Hasselhoff was devoted to her daughters, Taylor and Hayley.
Her social media was filled with loving posts about them and her granddaughter, London, whom Taylor welcomed in August.
Her final Instagram post, shared on New Year’s Eve, expressed gratitude for her growing family and optimism for the future.
Just hours before her passing, she had interacted with Hayley’s Instagram post.
Following the tragic news, David Hasselhoff released a statement expressing his family’s deep sadness and requesting privacy.
Meanwhile, Hayley shared a touching tribute on Instagram, posting a throwback image of her parents from 1996.
