Pamela Bach, the ex-wife of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, has died at the age of 62. Authorities found her unresponsive in her Los Angeles home on March 5, and reports indicate she died by suicide. The news came as a shock to many, including Hasselhoff, who released a statement following her passing.
Bach was an actress best known for her roles in Knight Rider and Baywatch.
