In a tragic turn of events, model actress Dayle Haddon passed away on Friday. Reports suggest that the authorities inspecting the case suspect a carbon monoxide leak at a home.

Dayle Haddon was a force to reckon with during her flourishing career from the 70s to the 90s. She was in Pennsylvania at home when she passed away at the age of 76.

According to CBS News, the Solebury Township Police Department shared that they received a call from a home in Bucks County about a man “lying down, passed out on the first floor of a detached office/in-law suite.” They responded to the same just after 9 a.m. on Friday. They found a 76-year-old man, whose identity is yet to be revealed. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Thereafter the authorities found a 76-year-old woman, later identified as Haddon, dead in a second-floor bedroom.

When the fire department conducted their investigation, they were able to detect a high level of carbon monoxide in the property. “Preliminary investigation is showing that a heating unit malfunctioned exposing a large amount of carbon monoxide within the carriage house,” revealed Detective Sgt. Jonathan Koretzky.

Further, because of the exposure to the gas, two medics were transported to the local hospital, while one cop was treated at the scene. According to the authorities, all three professionals are stable now.
