A shocking revelation has emerged about the circumstances surrounding the death of Pamela Bach, the ex-wife of actor David Hasselhoff. In an interview with *People* magazine, Andrea Canning, Bach’s former nanny, disclosed that the late actress was grappling with significant health and financial challenges in the days leading up to her tragic suicide.
Canning, who first met Bach while working as an intern on *Baywatch*, shared that Bach’s health had deteriorated significantly in recent years. “The last time I saw her, she was walking with a cane. She wasn’t the Pamela I knew,” Canning revealed. She also noted that the 2003 motorcycle accident involving Bach and Hasselhoff had taken a lasting toll on her well-being.
Financial struggles were another major source of stress for Bach, according to Canning. “There were times where she’s like, ‘I’m going to be homeless. I’ve got to get out of this house,’ which never happened,” Canning recalled. She expressed uncertainty about how Bach managed to maintain her $2 million Hollywood Hills home and cover her expenses, as Bach often voiced concerns about her financial situation.
Despite these challenges, Canning remembered Bach as someone who maintained a positive outlook on life. “[Bach] had a really positive outlook on life as well,” she said. “It’s funny — the longer I got to know her, the nicer she became.” Canning emphasized that Bach grew kinder and more compassionate over the years.
Pamela Bach was found dead in her Hollywood Hills home on Thursday, February 6. Her death was confirmed as a suicide resulting from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The revelations from Canning shed light on the struggles Bach faced in her final years, painting a poignant picture of a woman battling both physical and financial hardships.
