Pamela Bach, the ex-wife of David Hasselhoff, tragically passed away by suicide at the age of 62. Her body was found in her home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, with no note left behind. Family members grew concerned when they hadn’t heard from Bach in several days, prompting paramedics to be called to her residence. She was discovered unconscious and later pronounced dead.
Bach, known for her role on “The Young and the Restless,” met Hasselhoff on the set of “Knight Rider” where they fell in love. The couple got married in December 1989 and had two daughters, Taylor and Hayley. However, their marriage faced difficulties, leading to a contentious divorce in 2006. The split was marked by allegations of domestic abuse, with Bach accusing Hasselhoff of mistreatment.
In a statement following Bach’s passing, Hasselhoff expressed deep sadness over the loss and requested privacy for the family to grieve. Bach had recently shared a positive message on Instagram, welcoming the new year with gratitude and well wishes for her followers.
In 2015, Bach survived a harrowing incident where she was attacked by three dogs at a friend’s home. She recounted the terrifying experience, revealing that she fought for her life and narrowly escaped death. Despite sustaining severe injuries, Bach chose not to file a police report and focused on her gratitude for being alive.
