David Hasselhoff‘s ex-wife, Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff, has died by suicide … TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us … family members had not heard from her and wanted to check on her out of concern. Paramedics were called to Pamela’s house on a report of an unconscious female shortly after 10 PM Wednesday.

Pamela was pronounced dead at the scene with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. There was no note, we’re told.

LAPD officers responded shortly afterward.

David and Pamela were married from 1989 to 2006. The divorce was contentious … with disputes about monthly spousal support extending into 2017.

We’ve reached out to David, who declined to comment at this time.

Pamela first appeared on the big screen in Francis Ford Coppola‘s “Rumble Fish” in 1983, starring Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke and Diane Lane. Film led to TV roles, including “Baywatch” in 1989 … she played café owner Kaye Morgan for 10 years on the series.

Other TV roles included “The Young and the Restless,” “The Fall Guy,” “T.J. Hooker,” and “Knight Rider.”

She’s survived by two daughters.

Pamela was 62.

RIP
