Baywatch Actress Pamela Bach Reportedly Told Daughter She 'Loved Her' Hours Before Suicide

Death has no hold on Pamela Bach's love for her child!

The actress's loved ones can now move on from all the questions surrounding her death as experts release the results of their investigation. Bach's last words before committing suicide were also revealed.

Pamela Bach took her life via a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 5 at the age of 62, months after reportedly talking about suicide to her neighbors.

An investigation summary, including a toxicology report, revealed that Bach had benzodiazepines, specifically Clonazepam and 7-Aminoclonazepam, in her system at the time of her death.

Benzodiazepines, the drugs found in Bach's system, are commonly prescribed for anxiety and depression and can also be used to manage panic and seizure disorders.

On the day she died, Bach reportedly spoke with one of her daughters, Hayley, at approximately 7:45 a.m., telling her that she "loved her very much." These heartfelt words marked the last communication between them.

The sequence of events that followed was unfortunate. Despite her daughter's attempts to reach her through calls and texts throughout the day, Bach did not respond.

Concerned, her daughter arrived at Bach's home for a welfare check, only to find her mother unresponsive on her bed.  As initially reported by PEOPLE, authorities then discovered an empty gun case and a box of Federal 38 Special bullets, which contained five missing bullets out of the original twenty. 

Bach's ex, David Hasselhoff, promptly released a statement after news broke about his estranged wife's passing. A statement on Bach's passing by a rep from Hasselhoff to the outlet read:

"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."

The actor and Bach welcomed two daughters, Taylor and Hayler, after their marriage in 1989. Taylor was born on May 5, 1990, and quickly followed her parents into the entertainment industry.

She has appeared in various movies and TV shows, including "Sharknado 4," "Sunken City," and "The Young and the Restless."

Hayley, also an actress, was born on August 26, 1992. So far, she has starred in projects such as "Huge," "Sharknado 4," and "Why Women Kill." However, she is predominantly recognized as a groundbreaking plus-size model.

In 2021, she made history by becoming the first plus-size model to grace the cover of a European edition of Playboy. However, 17 years after their marriage, Bach and Hasselhoff filed for divorce in 2006, citing irreconcilable differences.

Bach was in the process of launching a reality TV series with her friends before her untimely death. As noted by The Blast, she had dedicated over a year to developing the show.

The concept centered on socialites in their golden years, showcasing their lives in the Hollywood Hills as they navigated the challenges of aging while embracing life to the fullest.

Despite her enthusiasm and efforts to cast A-list celebrities in their 60s, the late actress reportedly faced numerous obstacles. She even traveled to Europe to convince some of her friends to participate and went so far as to offer her Los Angeles home for filming.

Among those considered was Hollywood veteran Gary Busey, although his commitment was inconsistent. However, tracking down a stable cast was just one of the many challenges she encountered.

The actress also struggled to secure competent attorneys and negotiate with production companies. After approximately a year and a half of hard work, her project unfortunately never made it to the filming stage.

Despite releasing a touching statement about his former wife's death, the actor reportedly refused to pay his ex her last respects at the graveside.

As reported by The Blast, Hasselhoff skipped her final service at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church, which had approximately 150 people in attendance. 

Inquiries regarding his absence went unanswered as his representative declined to provide any explanation. The final service honoring Bach featured performances by singer Stacy Citron, alongside moving tributes from Bach's daughters, 

Taylor and Hayley, as well as her sisters, Penny and Cathy. Throughout the event, nostalgic images of Hasselhoff and Bach were displayed on screen, showcasing their happier moments together.

The former couple's separation in August 2006 resulted in each of them gaining custody of one of their daughters.

During their contentious divorce nearly two decades ago, allegations of domestic abuse emerged as Bach accused Hasselhoff of being abusive. She blamed the breakdown of their marriage on his struggles with alcoholism.

In 2007, Hasselhoff lost visitation rights to see their daughters temporarily after a relapse, an event that was distressingly recorded by one of their daughters. However, after achieving a period of sobriety, his rights were reinstated.

Bach had openly discussed the detrimental impact of Hasselhoff's drinking in a 2008 interview, stating that it significantly contributed to the demise of their relationship.

She reflected on the pain of feeling that "Hasselhoff loved the bottle more than me" and described his behavior as that of a "falling-down drunk." 

Despite her efforts to shield their children and support him through his addiction, the severity of his alcoholism became clear to her only after they were married.

In a sworn deposition, Bach recounted a violent incident where Hasselhoff allegedly broke her nose during a drunken rage. The actor denied this claim and argued that it was a result of her several appointments with her plastic surgeon.

Years later, Bach reflected on their shared history. She expressed a lingering love for Hasselhoff and recognized the deep impact his alcoholism had on their family, which she regarded as a painful disease that affected them all.

Are Pamela Bach's final words the closure the family needs?
