Pamela Bach was still allegedly suffering from the injuries she obtained from a 2003 motorcycle accident with her ex-husband, David Hasselhoff.
The late actress’ friend addressed Bach’s devastating suicide, shedding light on the agonizing pain she was “plagued” with from the crash until her death on Wednesday, March 5.
The Post confirmed that Bach — who was married to Hasselhoff from 1989 to 2006 — died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner officially ruled her death a suicide following the completion of her autopsy.
Bach was 62.
The Los Angeles Police Department told The Post that officers responded to Bach’s Hollywood Hills, Calif., home at 10:05 p.m. ET on Wednesday, where her body was discovered.
Terry Ahern, her longtime friend, who was also her representative from 2012 to 2023, spoke about his late pal with People, sharing that Bach never gave any hints that she was contemplating suicide or struggling with her mental health.
Calling Hasselhoff’s ex “the kindest person you’d ever meet,” Ahern said, “She was the last person in the world I would think [would do that].”
“It’s a shock,” he added of her passing.
However, Ahern claimed Bach was “plagued” by injuries from the crash that she and Hasselhoff were in over two decades ago.
Bach went to “the hospital with a broken neck and back,” he said, adding she spent “months in intensive care with crushed bones.”
“That plagued her — the arthritis from it,” Ahern claimed. “Because that stuff catches up to you when you get older — injuries that are [from] earlier, arthritis sets in … Pam’s body was ravaged from arthritis caused by the accident. It continued to spread and wreak havoc.”
Ahern also told the outlet of his final conversation with Bach, which he said took place a few months before her death.
According to him, she appeared to be in good spirits during their conversation, in which she gushed about being a grandmother.
Bach and Hasselhoff share two children: daughters Taylor, 34, and Hayley, 32. Taylor welcomed her daughter, London, in August, making Bach a first-time grandma.
“Oh, [she was] just [saying] how she was just over the moon being a grandmother — over the moon,” Ahern shared. “She was so excited.”
Ahern shared he’s mourning his dear friend.
“The sad thing is, when you love somebody and you know them and this happens, the first thing you think about is — they had all that built up inside and I couldn’t see it. I mean, that must be so horrible to be walking around with that,” he said.
“Pamela stood for kindness, sweetness, and love, plain and simple. She loved animals and people and cherished her family,” he added. “If you needed help, she was the first to respond. Her big smile and laugh will forever leave an impression on our hearts.”
On Thursday, Bach’s neighbor spoke about the final time she saw the actress after she committed suicide in her Hollywood Hills home.
“I feel like she looked sad,” the neighbor told Daily Mail.
She also alleged that Bach and Hasselhoff’s daughter Hayley found her mother’s body.
“She was hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street,” the neighbor said. “She was crying, saying, ‘I just want to get my car.’”
The Post reached out to Hasselhoff’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The “Baywatch” actor broke his silence about his ex-wife’s death earlier this week.
“Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff,” his statement read.
“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.”
Bach met Hasselhoff on the set of “Knight Rider” in 1985. She starred with him in “Baywatch” during their marriage from 1991 to 2000.
He filed for divorce in 2006, with the pair continuing to fight over spousal support until 2017.
