Actress and model Dayle Haddon has tragically passed away due to a carbon monoxide leak at a residence in Pennsylvania. Authorities reported that another individual has been hospitalized in connection with this incident.

Haddon, known for her work with brands like Estée Lauder and L’Oreal, and for her appearances on the covers of renowned magazines such as Sports Illustrated and Vogue Paris during the 1970s, was a prominent figure in the fashion industry.

On Friday morning, police received emergency calls at approximately 6:31 AM local time, responding to a critical situation where a 76-year-old man was found unconscious on the first floor of a detached building. In a second-floor bedroom, they discovered Haddon had succumbed to the effects of carbon monoxide.

The hospitalized man, identified as Walter J. Blucas, is in critical condition at a hospital in New Jersey. He is the father-in-law of Haddon through her daughter, Ryan Haddon, who, along with her husband, actor Marc Blucas, owns the property where the tragedy occurred.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the cause of the carbon monoxide leak was a faulty exhaust pipe in the heating system of the building. This dangerous situation impacted the emergency responders as well, leading to two medics being hospitalized for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer requiring treatment at the scene.

Dayle Haddon was originally from Quebec, Canada, where she began her career as a ballerina before transitioning to modeling and acting. She starred in films like “The World’s Greatest Athlete” (1973) and “North Dallas Forty” (1979), showcasing her diverse talents.

This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of the hidden dangers of carbon monoxide leaks. It emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance checks on heating systems to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.

Haddon’s legacy will be remembered by her contributions to the fashion and film industries, and her family is undoubtedly grieving the loss of a beloved matriarch.
