David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff has died at age 62.
Bach-Hasselhoff died by suicide, according to the L.A. County Medical Examiner. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that paramedics were called to Bach-Hasselhoff’s house in response to a report of an unconscious female after 10 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5. (TMZ was the first to break the news.)
The outlet noted that family had not heard from her and wanted to check in on her. She was pronounced dead at the scene. There was reportedly no note.
Hasselhoff mourned the loss of his ex-wife in a statement to TMZ. “Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” he said. “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.”

After Hasselhoff and Bach-Hasselhoff met on the set of Knight Rider when she was a guest star, the pair tied the knot in 1989 before splitting in 2006. The exes share daughters Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32.
After their divorce was finalized, Bach-Hasselhoff told The Associated Press, “I’ve always loved him and always will, and have love and compassion for him. It’s a very, very sad day, but a day to move on.”
Hasselhoff was previously married to actress Catherine Hickland from 1984 to 1989. He is currently married to model Hayley Roberts, whom he wed in 2018. “I told my girls what I was going to do and they were both really supportive,” Hasselhoff told Hello! magazine in 2016 after proposing to Roberts. “It’s tough. No one wants to see their parents split up. But they love Hayley and they’re just happy for me.”
