Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, Actress and Ex-Wife of David Hasselhoff, Dies at 62
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, an accomplished actress and former spouse of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, has tragically passed away at the age of 62. She was discovered in her Los Angeles home, where authorities have confirmed her death resulted from suicide. Concerned family members, who hadn’t heard from her, went to check on her and found her residence locked. Upon gaining entry, they discovered her inside. Emergency responders arrived shortly after 10 p.m., but Pamela was pronounced dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with no suicide note left behind.
David Hasselhoff released a statement on social media expressing his sorrow and gratitude for the support he has received, while also requesting privacy during this challenging time. Pamela’s representative, Sharon Kelly, mourned her passing, describing her as a “force of nature” and highlighting her deep love for her family, especially her daughters, Taylor and Hayley.
Born on October 16, 1963, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Pamela enjoyed a successful career in television and film. She is best known for her role as Kaye Morgan on Baywatch during the 1990s and made appearances in shows such as The Fall Guy, T.J. Hooker, The Young and the Restless, and Knight Rider. Additionally, she starred in films like Castle Rock and Mansion of Blood.
Pamela married David Hasselhoff in 1989, and together they had two daughters before their divorce in 2006, following a lengthy legal battle. Despite their separation, family remained central to her life. In recent months, Pamela frequently shared heartfelt posts about her granddaughter, London, celebrating milestones and expressing her love for her family. Just prior to her passing, she commented on her daughter Hayley’s Instagram post, penning a touching tribute to London, whom she referred to as the “light of her life.”
While her sudden passing has left a profound void in the hearts of her loved ones, Pamela’s legacy will live on through her family and the cherished memories they shared together.
