Actress Pamela Bach, the ex-wife of actor David Hasselhoff, was reported to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to her Los Angeles County death certificate, which was obtained by TMZ on Tuesday (March 25).

Family members reportedly went to check on Bach after they hadn't heard from her on March 5, at which point her body was discovered. The actress was declared dead at the scene by responding paramedics, however, no suicide note was found.

Hiromi Osiecki, who lived across the street from the actress in Hollywood Hills, previously told the Daily Mail, “I felt she looked sad" when she last saw Bach. Osiecki's husband, John, said the news was "shocking" as Bach "didn't seem like the type of person who would want to kill herself."

"She was chatty. She would talk to a lot of people when she walked her dogs," John said.

Osiecki claimed that Bach's youngest daughter, Hayley Hasselhoff, discovered her mother's body at around 9:00 p.m., at which point she said she witnessed paramedics arrive at the scene.

“She was hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street,” Osiecki told the Daily Mail. “She was crying, saying ‘I just want to get my car.’”

“A little later, [Hayley] came out with police. I heard her crying and somebody was trying to comfort her," she added.

Bach worked alongside her ex-husband in roles on Knight Rider, as well as 14 episodes Baywatch as Bree Hanford and one episode of Baywatch Nights as a character named Cindy. The two were married in 1989, sharing daughters Hayley and Taylor-Ann Hasselhoff, before announcing their divorce in January 2006 which was finalized in August of that same year and saw Bach and Hasselhoff each given custody of one daughter.

Bach is credited for television roles on Otherworld, T.J. Hooker, Cheers, Superboy, The Young and the Restless and Celebrity Big Brother 2011, as well as film roles in Rumble Fish, Appointment with Fear, Nudity Required, Route 66, Castle Rock and More than Puppy Love.
