Iconic model and actress Dayle Haddon, 76, has died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.
The tragedy struck in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, at the home of her son-in-law, actor Marc Blucas, best known for his role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
According to the Solebury Township Police Department, officers were called to the residence early Friday morning, where they discovered Haddon’s body on the second floor.
On the first floor, 76-year-old Walter Blucas was found unconscious and was rushed to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey, for treatment.
A police investigation revealed that the deadly incident was caused by “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system,” which led to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide filling the home.

Two medics exposed to the gas were hospitalized, and a police officer received on-site treatment.
Eliot Gross, deputy coroner of Bucks County, confirmed Haddon’s death and noted that a toxicology report is underway to officially determine the cause.
