Pamela Bach: Ex-wife of David Hasselhoff died from 'self-inflicted gunshot wound' as cause of death revealed

The cause of death for actress Pamela Bach, ex-wife of David Hasselhoff, has been confirmed as suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, TMZ reported.

According to her official death certificate released by Los Angeles County on Tuesday, it states that the 62-year-old died from a gunshot wound to the head using a revolver on March 5.

She was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics after family members, who had not heard from her, went to check on her at her Los Angeles home.

Pamela has since been cremated, as noted in the official document. She was best known for her roles in Baywatch, Sirens, and Knight Rider, where she met Hasselhoff. The couple married in 1989 and divorced in 2006. Things were contentious between them and custody disputes went on until 2017.
