Pamela Bach's final public moments seemed full of happiness, with her last comment on her daughter Hayley's post featuring a heart-eyed emoji just a day before her death, leaving her death shrouded in mystery.
According to reports from Radar Online, family members became concerned when they hadn’t heard from Bach for several days. After expressing their worries, paramedics were called to her home, where they discovered an "unconscious female" just after 10 pm on Wednesday.
Bach's ex-husband, David Hasselhoff, issued a heartfelt statement to PEOPLE, expressing, "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."
While Bach's daughters, Hayley and Taylor, have not publicly commented on their mother's passing, Hayley acknowledged the loss in a quiet yet emotional way. She shared a nostalgic photo from a fan account on her Instagram Stories.
The picture, taken in 1996, captured her parents at the grand opening of the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. Hayley added a simple white heart emoji over the image, likely as a tribute to her late mother.
