David Hasselhoff's Ex-Wife Pamela Bach Dead at 62

David Hasselhoff‘s ex-wife, Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, has died by suicide … TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us … family members had not heard from her and wanted to check on her out of concern. Paramedics were called to Pamela’s house on a report of an unconscious female shortly after 10 PM Wednesday.

Pamela was pronounced dead at the scene with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. There was no note, we’re told.

LAPD officers responded shortly afterward.

David and Pamela were married from 1989 to 2006. The divorce was contentious … with disputes about monthly spousal support extending into 2017.

David tells TMZ … “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.”

Pamela first appeared on the big screen in Francis Ford Coppola‘s “Rumble Fish” in 1983, starring Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke and Diane Lane. Film led to TV roles, including “Baywatch” in 1989 … she played café owner Kaye Morgan for 10 years on the series.

Other TV roles included “Sirens,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Fall Guy,” “T.J. Hooker,” and “Knight Rider.”

She’s survived by two daughters.

Pamela was 62.

RIP
