Former Sports Illustrated Model Dayle Haddon Dies from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Dayle Haddon, a former Sports Illustrated model and actress, has died as a result of a carbon monoxide poisoning at a home in Pennsylvania, authorities have reported.

In the 1970s, Dayle Haddon modeled for Estée Lauder and L’Oreal and appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated and Vogue Paris.

Pennsylvania Police said they received a phone at 06:31 local time on Friday that a 76-year-old man had passed out on the first floor of a building at a Bucks County property. Haddon’s body was discovered deceased in a second-floor bedroom.

According to CBS News, Haddon’s daughter, former journalist Ryan Haddon, and her husband, actor Marc Blucas, owned the building.

Police investigators report that a defective exhaust pipe on the building’s heating system caused a carbon monoxide leak.

They also stated that the high amounts of carbon monoxide inside the building had an impact on emergency responders, with two medics hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning and a police officer being treated on-site.

Dayle Haddon was born and reared in Quebec, Canada, and started her career as a ballerina.

She came to the United States to pursue a modeling career and later worked in cinema, appearing in films such as The World’s Greatest Athlete (1973) and North Dallas Forty (1979).

Ryan Haddon said on Instagram that Dayle Haddon had “a pure heart” and “a life well lived” in honor of her mother.

“She was a powerful woman who was kind and attentive to everyone. Deeply creative and curious, having beauty both inside and out. “I am always kind and thoughtful,” she remarked.

“She was a high-hearted spiritual being that put value on her soul’s evolution, so I know her journey here in this dimension must have been complete.”
