Dayle Haddon, an actress who was a featured model in magazines during the 1970s and ‘80s and continued to model as she grew older, was found dead at her daughter’s Pennsylvania home on Friday, authorities said. She was 76.
According to a news release from the Solebury Township Police Department, the cause of Haddon’s death was believed to be carbon monoxide poisoning.
Police were called to a residence in Bucks County at approximately 6:31 a.m. ET on Friday, the release stated. A man was discovered lying down, passed out on the first floor of a detached office/in-law suite.
The man was later identified as Walter J. Blucas, 76, of Erie, Pennsylvania, police and Haddon’s daughter, Ryan Haddon said, according to The New York Times. He was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.
Blucas is the father of actor Marc Blucas and father-in-law of Ryan Haddon, CNN reported.
A woman, later identified as Dayle Haddon, was found dead in a second-floor bedroom, police said.
“The investigation indicates a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak,” police said in the department’s statement.
Toxicology reports are “pending” until all test results are completed, USA Today reported, citing a statement from Bucks County Coroner Patti Campi on Saturday.
Dayle Pauline Haddon was born on May 26, 1948, in Toronto, the Times reported. As a model, she graced the covers of top fashion and beauty magazines such as Elle, Cosmopolitan, Vogue Paris, the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and Bazaar, according to the newspaper.
Her film credits include supporting roles in “The World’s Greatest Athlete,” “Madame Claude,” North Dallas Forty,” and “Cyborg,” Entertainment Weekly reported. She later played small roles in two films from the 1990s: “Bullets Over Broadway” (1994) and “Celebrity” (1998), according to IMDb.com.
When she turned 38, Dayle Haddon was told that she was too old to model, she told the Times in an interview in 2003.
“I kept modeling,” Haddon told the newspaper. “But in a different way. I became a spokesperson for my age.”
Haddon was later the face of L’Oreal’s anti-aging products and wrote a book “Ageless Beauty: A Woman’s Guide to Lifelong Beauty and Well-Being,” Variety reported.
She was also an ambassador for UNICEF and founded WomenOne, a New York-based organization that helps expand educational opportunities for women, according to the entertainment news website.
Ryan Haddon, writing in an Instagram post, noted that “the bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this Earthly realm.”
“She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful,” Ryan Haddon wrote.” In conversation, she could go to the deepest of places and also soar (to) the highest heights of spiritual understanding. She held so many up, saw their greatness sometimes hidden to them, and always built bridges with her own connections to help them ascend. She was everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.”
