Pamela Bach, a talented actress and the former spouse of "Baywatch" icon David Hasselhoff, has passed away at the age of 62. According to the Los Angeles medical examiner's office, her demise occurred on Wednesday, with the precise cause still being diligently investigated. Widely recognized as Pamela Hasselhoff, Bach graced the screens of "The Young and the Restless" and fatefully crossed paths with her future husband on the set of his hit series, "Knight Rider." Her acting credits also included an appearance on "Baywatch."

Bach and Hasselhoff tied the knot in December 1989, welcoming two daughters, Taylor and Hayley, into their world. However, their union dissolved acrimoniously in January 2006, amidst allegations of domestic abuse levied by Bach against Hasselhoff. A damning video, captured by one of their daughters, showed Hasselhoff inebriated and consuming a burger, which temporarily stripped him of his visitation rights to their daughters. Fortunately, these rights were reinstated after a fortnight. Hasselhoff acknowledged the authenticity of the video, explaining it captured him during a relapse but steadfastly denied the abuse claims at that time.

Requests for comment directed to David Hasselhoff's representative remain unanswered as of now. In a new chapter of his life, Hasselhoff wed model Hayley Roberts in 2018.
