David Hasselhoff did not attend ex-wife Pamela Bach’s funeral: report
David Hasselhoff did not attend his ex-wife Pamela Bach‘s funeral on Saturday, according to a new report.
Witnesses gathered for the service at Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles noticed that the “Baywatch” actor, 72, was not among the assembled mourners, TMZ reported on Monday.
Hasselhoff and Bach’s two daughters — Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32 — did, however, attend the late actress’ funeral and delivered eulogies, per the outlet.
The pair were among nearly 150 people who turned out for the funeral, including Bach’s sisters, Penny and Cathy, along with singer, Stacy Citron, who performed at the memorial.
A slideshow of photos showing Bach with her loved ones played during the event, including ones with Hasselhoff, as seen in a video obtained by TMZ.
A rep for Hasselhoff declined to comment on the actor’s absence when contacted by the outlet.
The spokesperson did not immediately respond when contacted by The Post.
Bach died on March 5 at her $2 million Hollywood Hills, Calif., home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to her death certificate.
Bach’s passing was ruled a suicide. She was 62.
Her body was allegedly discovered by Hayley, according to a neighbor. The former TV star does not appear to have left a note.
She also died without a will. As a result, Taylor?filed court documents to become the executor of her late mother’s estate, which has been valued at $840,000.
One day after Bach’s death, Hasselhoff shared a statement responding to the sad news.
“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” the “Baywatch” actor wrote in a March 6 Facebook post. “We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult period but kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time.”
Bach and Hasselhoff met in 1985 when the actress, whose credits included “The Young and the Restless,” “The Fall Guy” and “T.J. Hooker,” booked a role on his hit TV series “Knight Rider.”
The pair wed in 1989 and would work together again on “Baywatch” during its run from 1991 to 2000, with Bach playing cafe owner Kaye Morgan.
Divorce came in 2006, though they continued to litigate spousal support until 2017.
Bach was Hasselhoff’s second wife. He was married to actress and singer Catherine Hickland from 1984 to 1989. In 2018, the actor tied the knot with Welsh model Hayley Roberts.
