Baywatch vet Pamela Bach's last loving message to her daughter before she took her life at 61 is revealed
Pamela Bach shared a loving conversation with one of her daughters shortly before taking her own life.
The Baywatch star, 61, who was divorced from actor David Hasselhoff, 72, died by suicide in March, but according investigative documents, before she made that fateful decision, she shared an early morning conversation with one of her children.
Bach was mom to Taylor, 35, and Hayley, 32 and spoke with one of them at 7:45 that morning.
Per the report obtained by Daily Mail, the conversation was a sweet one as the struggling star told her daughter that she 'loved her very much.'
The report shared that Bach's daughter continued to call her throughout the day, but 'never' got an answer.
It was the same daughter who decided to drive to her mom's house and check on her, only to discover Bach lying in bed, 'unresponsive.'
The documents do not seem to identify which of Bach's children found her, but It has been previously reported that it was Hayley, an actress and plus-sized model, who was first on the scene.
At the time, neighbors told the Daily Mail that the young woman was seen outside her mother's home 'screaming and crying' when the paramedics arrived.
The report also stated that there was no suicide note at the scene and there was no indication of foul play.
According to the report, Bach had 'mentioned suicide last year, but there were never any attempts.'
People reported that the Sirens star had taken several medications that day, including Benzodiazepines, used to treat anxiety and depression along with Clonazepam and 7- Aminoclonazepam which can be used to treat panic and seizure disorders.
Bach's former nanny, Dateline journalist Andrea Canning, also told People that the actress had never completely recovered from a 2003 motorcycle accident she and Hasselhoff had been involved in, resulting in a broken back and neck.
'The last time I saw her, she was walking with a cane. She wasn't the Pamela I knew,' Canning told the outlet.
'She was just having difficulty getting around. It took a toll on her, that accident.'
Hayley paid tribute to her mother when she attended the Cannes Film Festival in May, revealing on social media she wore a red gown 'inspired by one you once wore to the 1996 golden globes,' which was 'recreated' for the event
According to Canning, the former blonde bombshell was reportedly also dealing with financial difficulties as well.
Hayley paid tribute to her mother when she attended the Cannes Film Festival in May, revealing on social media she wore a red gown 'inspired by one you once wore to the 1996 golden globes,' which was 'recreated' for the event.
'Mama would be so proud,' her sister Taylor wrote in response to the sweet gesture.

PIP warning as people with mental health problems ‘could lose up to £5,750 a year' under government plans
HUNDREDS of thousands of Brits could lose up to £5,750 in PIP due to a major overhaul, a new report warns. The Money and Mental Health Policy Institute (MMHPI), founded by money guru Martin Lewis, says the proposed changes to PIP are a "catastrophic" mistake. 2 The government needs to reduce the welfare bill and encourage more Brits back to work, to balance the nation's finances so it announced major cuts to PIP in March, aiming to save £5billion a year by 2030. Currently, you qualify for PIP by earning enough points across different tasks, like cooking, cleaning, or managing money. Under the new rules, you'll need to score at least four points on one specific daily task to qualify. This change could mean around 800,000 people losing their PIP payments, according to estimates from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Research by MMHPI shows that a quarter of people likely to be affected by the changes have mental health problems. At the same time, a third of people surveyed by the charity currently receive the higher 'enhanced' rate of PIP because they need a lot of support. If they lose this, they could see their income drop by over £5,750 a year. Others, who get the lower 'standard' rate, could still lose more than £3,850 a year. Helen Undy, chief executive of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute, said: "The message to the government from this research is clear - its proposed changes to PIP will have a catastrophic impact on people with mental health problems' wellbeing, finances, and working lives." Rachel Reeves delivers the Spring Budget in full "Balancing the books should not come at the price of causing misery and hardship for some of the most vulnerable people in society." The government says it wants to help more people get into work, but the charity argues that taking away this vital support will have the opposite effect. In response, a spokesperson for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said that most people currently claiming PIP will continue to get it. They added: "Our reforms will help sick or disabled people move out of poverty and into good, secure jobs, while ensuring the social security system will always be there for those who will never be able to work. "We are consulting on how best to support those impacted by the new eligibility changes, and have also announced a review of the PIP assessment, working with disabled people and key organisations representing them to consider how best to do this." WELFARE SHAKE-UP IN March, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced major welfare cuts to balance the nation's finances and boost employment. Key welfare changes include: Raising the eligibility threshold for PIP, achieving £3.4billion in annual savings. Temporarily introducing an above-inflation rise to Universal Credit's standard allowance (until 2029), while reducing the highest incapacity payment. Banning under-22s from claiming incapacity benefits under Universal Credit entirely. Slashing Universal Credit incapacity benefits for new claimants Abolishing the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) by 2028, with all health-related payments to be transitioned to PIP in the future. Launching a "Right to Work Guarantee", allowing unemployed individuals to attempt returning to work without losing benefits if they find it unsustainable. Merging jobseeker's allowance and employment support allowance, with a system that awards higher payments to those who have a work history compared to those who have not. More benefit cuts on the way It's not just PIP facing cuts. The government is also consulting on making major changes to Universal Credit, including reducing incapacity benefits and replacing work capability assessments. People already receiving incapacity payments will continue to get £416.19 per month, but this amount will stay the same until 2030. For new claims from April 2026, the payment will be reduced to £208.10 per month (£50 per week) and will also stay at this lower rate until 2030. The DWP has stated that a new premium will be introduced for those with the most severe, lifelong conditions who are unable to work, though the specifics of this proposal have yet to be disclosed. The Work Capability Assessment, which determines whether someone is deemed fit for work or has limited capability for work (LCW) or limited capability for work-related activity (LCWRA), will be scrapped by 2028. Instead the DWP will use the PIP assessment to assess entitlement for any Universal Credit health supplements. Claimants under the age of 22 will no longer be eligible for the health element of Universal Credit. The government is also introducing legislation to remove barriers to employment for benefit claimants by ensuring that attempting work will no longer automatically trigger a reassessment or review of their award. The intention is to give people the confidence to try work without fear of immediately losing their benefits if it doesn't work out. The government has promised to increase the Universal Credit standard allowance from April 2026, despite these changes. What are Work Capability Assessments? The DWP uses the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) to evaluate a claimant's ability to work when applying for Universal Credit due to a health condition or disability. The WCA focuses on assessing functional limitations rather than specific medical diagnoses. It considers both physical and mental health, awarding points based on how an individual's condition impacts their ability to carry out daily activities. After the assessment, claimants may be placed into one of two groups - Limited Capability for Work (LCW) or Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA). Claimants assigned to the LCW group are recognised as currently unfit for work but may be capable of returning to employment in the future with the right support and assistance. Those in this group are required to engage in work-related activities, such as attending Jobcentre appointments or training courses. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in sanctions, including a reduction or suspension of benefits. Claimants are placed in the LCWRA group if their health condition or disability is considered so severe that they are not expected to be able to work or participate in any work-related activities in the foreseeable future. Those in the LCWRA group receive an additional amount on top of their standard Universal Credit allowance currently worth £423.27 a month. What's happening to the Universal Credit standard allowance? As part of the changes announced in March, the government will increase the standard allowance for Universal Credit. This basic payment will temporarily rise at a rate higher than inflation, with an increase based on the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) plus an additional 5%. For a single individual aged 25 or over, this means their weekly payment will rise by £7 from April 2026, increasing from the current £92 per week to £106 per week by 2029. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) previously estimated that these above-inflation increases will provide the average claimant with an additional £775 in cash terms by 2029, compared to inflation-only adjustments.

Urgent nationwide warning for ground beef contaminated with deadly bacteria linked to colon cancer
Health officials have issued an urgent warning over ground beef sold at Whole Foods that may be contaminated with E. coli. The US Department of Agriculture issued a public health alert Tuesday for one-pound, vacuum packaged packages of Organic Rancher Beef from Vermont-based NPC Processing Inc. The contaminated packages were produced on May 22 and 23 and have use-by dates of June 19 and 20. The US Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) did not request a formal recall because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, they may still be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. The meat was produced in Australia or Uruguay and processed in the US. It was then sent to distributors in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland and then to Whole Foods stores nationwide. The problem was discovered when company officials notified FSIS that they had shipped beef products that tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, a type of bacteria that can cause blood diarrhea, stomach cramps and vomiting. It's the same strain of E. coli linked to the McDonald's Quarter Pounder outbreak last year. E. coli may also be a culprit behind the rise of colorectal cancer in young people, as it leads to DNA mutations in the digestive tract that raise the risk of tumors forming. To date, no illnesses linked to the product have been reported, officials said. Consumers who have the product should throw it away or return it to the store. E. coli bacteria can cause infections with symptoms that include dehydration, diarrhea and cramps. Most people recover within a week, but some people can become severely ill and develop a dangerous kidney condition. Children under age 5 and older adults are most at risk.
