Pamela Bach, actress and former wife of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, has passed away at the age of 62. She was found dead at her Los Angeles home on Wednesday, March 5. According to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner, her death was ruled a suicide caused by a gunshot wound to the head.

David Hasselhoff’s representative shared a statement with PEOPLE, expressing the family’s sorrow. “Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time, but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time."

Pamela shared two daughters with David—Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32. Her Instagram was filled with heartfelt posts about them, as well as her granddaughter. Taylor welcomed a daughter, London, in August with her husband, Madison Fiore, whom she married in February 2023.
