Actress and model Dayle Haddon has died and another person has been hospitalised due to a carbon monoxide leak at a home in Pennsylvania, authorities have said.
Haddon modelled for brands including Estée Lauder and L’Oreal, and appeared on the front of magazines including Sports Illustrated and Vogue Paris in the 1970s.
Police said they received a call at 06:31 local time (01:31 GMT) on Friday reporting that a 76-year-old man had passed out on the first floor of a self-contained detached building at a home in Bucks County.
A 76-year-old woman, later identified as Haddon, was found dead in a second-floor bedroom.
The man – who police described as being in a critical condition at a hospital in New Jersey – was identified as Walter J. Blucas, whose son is married to Haddon’s daughter.
Records show the home is owned by Haddon’s daughter, former journalist Ryan Haddon, and her husband, actor Marc Blucas, according to the BBC’s US partner, CBS News.
A preliminary investigation found that a faulty exhaust pipe on the building’s heating system caused the leak, police said.
