“She Looked Sad”: Final Days Before the Tragedy

Authorities confirmed that

Pamela



died from a gunshot wound


and ruled the death a

suicide

.

There were no signs of foul play.

But behind the scenes, those closest to her sensed something was off.


Hiromi Osiecki

, a neighbor across the street, had a chilling

reflection

that now haunts her entire community:

“I felt she looked sad.”

Hiromi and her husband,

John Osiecki

, recognized

Hayley’s Mercedes

parked outside that night—hardly a surprise, as they said she had

lived with her mother for nearly a decade

. Over those years, they noticed

frequent visits from emergency responders

, but

never knew exactly why

.

“It’s shocking. She was chatty. She would talk to a lot of people when she walked her dogs. She didn’t seem like the type of person who would want to kill herself.”

While the sudden tragedy left the neighborhood shaken, locals weren’t entirely surprised by the turmoil—because, they say,

drama had followed Pamela for years

.

John admitted he and Hiromi had

long kept their distance from the actress

due to the

“drama” she caused.

Hiromi painted a tense picture, recalling everything from

dog attacks

to

trespassing disputes

, even issues with Pamela’s lifestyle.

Their

gardener reportedly



refused to work for Pamela


, calling her

“crazy”

and saying she

“smokes too much marijuana.”

She also recounted an incident where Pamela

walked into their yard uninvited

to talk to the gardener—an act Hiromi called

“trespassing.”

There were

frequent fights with neighbors, she claimed

, including

arguments about trash cans

,

parking spaces

, and even a ”

huge pit bull-type dog”

that allegedly

bit a smaller dog

—sparking a

tense veterinary bill dispute

.

“I noticed all day, all night, the dog would cry and bark. I don’t know if she was there or not.”

Pamela even made a bizarre request at one point, Hiromi

revealed

:

“She once asked to hire me as an assistant—I was like, no way. It was such an odd thing to say to my husband. I didn’t want anything to do with her.”


Frantic Discovery and a Daughter’s Screams


Pamela’s body was found after days of no contact

, prompting concerned family to rush to her Hollywood Hills home. What they found inside was nothing short of

heartbreaking

.

On that awful night,

emergency responders rushed to the scene

shortly after 10 p.m. following a report of an unconscious woman. Alongside them was Pamela’s daughter,

Hayley Hasselhoff,

who was met with a scene no child should ever have to face.

Witnesses

described

her as

“hysterical” and “screaming and crying”

as she moved in and out of the house in emotional turmoil. One neighbor recalled hearing her


shout in anguish



:

“I just want to get my car.”

A Proud Mother, A Doting Grandmother—Her Legacy of Love

Born on

October 16, 1963

, in Tulsa, Oklahoma,

Pamela

built a

Hollywood career that spanned decades

. She was best known for playing

Kaye Morgan

on “Baywatch” and shows like “Knight Rider” and “The Fall Guy.”

Besides “Baywatch,” Pamela had roles in several well-known TV shows, including “T.J. Hooker” (1985), “The Young and the Restless” (1973), “Sirens” (1994–2005), and “Knight Rider” (1985). She also appeared in films such as “Castle Rock” (2000), “More Than Puppy Love” (2002), and “Mansion of Blood” (2015).

But beyond her career, her

greatest pride was her family

. In the weeks leading up to her passing, Pamela expressed

deep affection for her children and granddaughter

on social media.

In February, she celebrated her granddaughter

London Hasselhoff Fiores’s 6-month birthday

in an Instagram tribute,

writing

:

“Happy 6 month Birthday to my precious, sweetest and beautiful Granddaughter – London who has my whole heart ♥️ and lights up our life with her magic – Gigi Loves you so so much❤️ You’ve brought so much joy into our lives. I’m also so very proud of you @tay and @madison_fiore – You’re wonderful first-time parents!! ❤️”

Just a month earlier, Pamela rang in the New Year,

penning

a heartfelt post:

“Watching her grow and seeing her smile light up my world is truly the greatest blessing…My wish for all of you this year is health, happiness, and an abundance of love. May 2025 be filled with beautiful moments, laughter, and all the blessings your hearts can hold. Here’s to a year of making cherished memories, spreading joy, and embracing every precious moment!”


A ‘Force of Nature’ Gone Too Soon

Following the tragic news,

David

, 72, released a somber public

statement

:

“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.”

Sharon Kelly

, Pamela’s representative, also

expressed her devastation

and paid tribute to Pamela’s love of family:

“I am in shock and still processing the loss of my dear client Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff. Pamela was a ‘Force of Nature’… She will be missed…. Pamela often talked about how very proud she was of both her daughters and what they have blossomed into. She was a ‘Proud Mama’!”

Shortly before her death, she left a

heart-eyed emoji

on Hayley’s Instagram post, which featured her in a black outfit.

Despite her love for family, her personal life was marred by challenges. Pamela

married David in December 1989

, and the couple had two daughters: Taylor Ann and Hayley, but the

marriage ended in a contentious divorce

in 2006, with

disputes over spousal support

continuing until 2017. ​

Behind the glamour, behind the red carpets and the ocean waves of “Baywatch,”


Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff



was a woman in pain

. Her final act has left her family reeling and her neighbors reflecting on years of tension, misunderstandings—and now, profound sorrow.
