Actress and model Dayle Haddon has tragically passed away due to a carbon monoxide leak at a residence in Pennsylvania. Authorities have reported that another individual, a 76-year-old man, has been hospitalized as a result of the incident.
Haddon, known for her work with prominent brands like Estée Lauder and L’Oréal, graced the covers of influential magazines such as Sports Illustrated and Vogue Paris during the 1970s. The police received an emergency call at 6:31 AM local time on Friday, reporting that a 76-year-old man had collapsed on the first floor of a detached building on the property. Unfortunately, Haddon was later found deceased in a second-floor bedroom. The man, identified as Walter J. Blucas, was noted to be in critical condition and is receiving treatment at a hospital in New Jersey. Blucas is connected to Haddon through family ties, as he is the father of Haddon’s son-in-law.
According to preliminary investigations, it appears that a malfunctioning exhaust pipe in the building’s heating system was the source of the carbon monoxide leak. This dangerous situation also impacted emergency responders, leading to two medics being hospitalized due to carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer being treated at the scene.
Originally from Quebec, Canada, Haddon began her artistic journey as a ballerina before shifting her focus to modeling and acting. She made her mark in cinema with roles in films like “The World’s Greatest Athlete” in 1973 and “North Dallas Forty” in 1979.
In light of this incident, it is essential to highlight the significance of proper maintenance of home heating systems to prevent such unfortunate accidents. As communities reflect on this tragedy, there is a renewed emphasis on safety measures that can protect families from the hidden dangers of carbon monoxide.
As we remember Dayle Haddon for her contributions to modeling and acting, we also extend our deepest condolences to her family during this difficult time.
