Tragic end for “Baywatch” star–Pamela Bach, David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife
- Replies 1
The entertainment world is in mourning following the shocking news that Pamela Bach, known for her role on the iconic television series Baywatch and as the ex-wife of David Hasselhoff, has passed away at the age of 62.
The GrayVine community extends its deepest condolences to her family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff's absence was felt when her family had not heard from her for several days, prompting them to check on her well-being.
Tragically, upon their arrival and subsequent call to authorities at 10pm on Wednesday, it was confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department that she had died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, leaving behind no note to shed light on her final thoughts.
Pamela's journey in the entertainment industry began with her first movie role in Francis Ford Coppola's Rumble Fish in 1983.
She went on to grace television screens in a variety of roles, including appearances on Knight Rider, Cheers, and The Young and the Restless.
However, it was her recurring role as cafe owner Kaye Morgan on Baywatch that brought her widespread recognition. She appeared on Baywatch in 14 episodes over 10 years.
Her connection to David Hasselhoff was both personal and professional.

They first met on the set of Knight Rider in 1985, leading to a marriage in 1989 that lasted 17 years.
The couple had two daughters, Hayley and Taylor, and shared custody of them following their divorce in 2006.
Pamela's final social media post on December 31, 2024, reflected a woman full of gratitude, especially for her granddaughter, London.
London Hasselhoff-Fiore is the daughter of Taylor and her husband, Madison Fiore.
She expressed joy in watching London grow, a sentiment that now serves as a poignant reminder of the love she had for her family. She is survived by her two daughters and granddaughter.
