A tragic incident in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania, has taken the life of renowned Canadian model and actress Dayle Haddon, while her companion is hospitalized following a suspected carbon monoxide leak. The emergency call that came in early Friday morning led responders to a cottage house where they found a 76-year-old man semi-conscious on the first floor. He was promptly transported to a hospital for treatment.
Rescue crews soon discovered Haddon unconscious in a second-floor bedroom and, despite attempts to revive her, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The Bucks County Coroner confirmed her identity and noted her significant contributions to the fashion industry since the 1970s, including recent appearances in Vogue and her activism for several causes.
Firefighters at the scene detected dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide, which preliminary investigations indicate may have originated from a boiler unit. Police continue to investigate the specifics of the incident, which has prompted warnings about the dangers of carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless gas that poses risks year-round, particularly during colder months.
Real estate records indicate the home belongs to actor Marc Blucas and his wife, Ryan Haddon Blucas, who have owned the property since purchasing it for $1 million in 2012. In a heartfelt tribute on social media, Ryan honored her mother, highlighting her unwavering support for others and her role as an inspirational figure.
Fire officials emphasize the importance of preventative measures against carbon monoxide poisoning, reminding the public to maintain their heating appliances and to have functional carbon monoxide detectors in their homes.
This incident serves as a somber reminder of the risks associated with carbon monoxide and the importance of safety in our living environments. As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of a beloved figure whose legacy extends beyond her professional accomplishments to the numerous lives she impacted positively.
