Pamela Bach Hasselhoff, the ex-spouse of renowned actor David Hasselhoff, has tragically ended her own life at 62. Concerned family members, unable to contact her, alerted authorities who subsequently conducted a welfare check. Late Wednesday evening, emergency services were dispatched to her home following a report of an unconscious woman.
Pamela was discovered in her Hollywood Hills residence and was declared deceased at the scene. The cause of death was identified as a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Despite the circumstances surrounding her death, no suicide note was found at the scene.
David Hasselhoff, in a heartfelt Facebook post on Thursday, expressed his family’s sorrow. He expressed gratitude for the public’s support and love during this difficult time, while also asking for privacy as they cope with their loss.
David Hasselhoff, who gained fame for his role in the popular TV series “Baywatch,” was married to Pamela from 1989 to 2006. Pamela also had a part in the iconic lifeguard series, playing the character of cafe owner Kaye Morgan from 1991 to 2000. Their divorce was characterized by ongoing disagreements over spousal support that lasted until 2017.
Pamela’s acting career spanned several television shows including “Sirens,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Fall Guy,” and “T.J. Hooker.” She first met David while guest-starring in a 1985 episode of “Knight Rider.”
Pamela is survived by her two daughters with David, Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32. Prior to his marriage to Pamela, David was married to actress and singer Catherine Hickland from 1984 to 1989. After settling his spousal support agreement with Pamela, David married Welsh model Hayley Roberts in 2018.
