David Hasselhoff’s family is moving forward with the arrangements for his late ex-wife, Pamela Bach, following the completion of her autopsy.

The Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s office has confirmed that the examination has been finalized,

and her body is now ready to be released to a funeral home of the family’s choosing.

Bach, 62, tragically passed away on Wednesday due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The coroner’s report officially ruled her death as a suicide.

Her sudden passing has left those close to her in deep mourning.

Bach was married to actor David Hasselhoff for 16 years, from 1989 to 2006. The former couple shared two daughters, Taylor Ann Hasselhoff, 34, and Hayley Hasselhoff, 32.

Their family has been grieving the heartbreaking loss, with Hasselhoff addressing the tragedy in a public statement.

“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” the statement read. “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.”

According to reports, Bach’s family became concerned after not hearing from her for some time. Emergency responders arrived at her Hollywood Hills residence on Wednesday evening after receiving a call about an unresponsive female. Her daughter, Hayley, was reportedly the one who discovered her mother’s body, leading to an emotional and distressing scene.

Neighbors recounted witnessing Hayley outside the residence, overwhelmed with grief. One neighbor described her as “hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street,” struggling to come to terms with the shocking discovery.

“She was crying, saying, ‘I just want to get my car,’” the neighbor recalled. “A little later, she came out with police. I heard her crying and somebody was trying to comfort her.”

Further reports indicate that Bach did not leave behind a suicide note, leaving loved ones searching for answers.

Beyond being known for her marriage to Hasselhoff, Bach was a recognized actress in her own right. She made notable television appearances on popular shows such as “The Young and the Restless” and “Knight Rider.” However, she was best known for her role as Kaye Morgan in “Baywatch,” where she starred alongside Hasselhoff between 1991 and 2000. The pair initially met in 1985 on the set of “Knight Rider,” where their relationship began.

Bach and Hasselhoff’s marriage ended in a highly publicized and contentious divorce. The legal battle stretched on for years, particularly over spousal support, with disputes continuing until 2017. Hasselhoff initially filed for divorce in January 2006, citing irreconcilable differences.

Despite the difficulties in their relationship, Bach had previously expressed lingering care for her ex-husband. Shortly after their divorce was finalized, she stated in an interview, “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.”

Bach’s passing marks a tragic end to a life that was once in the spotlight. Her daughters, family, and those close to her are left mourning a significant loss. While Hasselhoff and their children have asked for privacy during this difficult time, fans and friends have continued to express their condolences and support for the grieving family.

As they take the next steps in preparing for Bach’s final arrangements, those who knew her best are left reflecting on her life, career, and the impact she had on those around her. Her memory will live on through her work in television and the legacy she leaves behind in her family.
