LOS ANGELES, CA — Pamela Hasselhoff, “Baywatch” actor and ex-wife of the show's star David Hasselhoff has died. She was 62-years-old, and the cause of her death remains under investigation by the Los Angeles medical examiner.

The actor acknowledged the video, shot by one of his daughters, showed him during an alcohol relapse but he denied abuse allegations at the time.
