Dayle Haddon: Model dies in suspected carbon monoxide leak

The man — whom police described as being in critical condition at a New Jersey hospital — 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 showed that a defective exhaust pipe on the building’s heating system caused the leak, police said.

They added that the high levels of carbon monoxide in the property had affected emergency workers, with two doctors hospitalized with carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer treated at the scene.

Born and raised in Quebec, Canada, Dayle Haddon began a career as a ballerina.

She moved to the United States to pursue a modeling career and later worked in cinema, with credits including The World’s Greatest Athlete, released in 1973, and North Dallas Forty, released in 1979.

He pays tribute to his mother, Ryan Haddon wrote on Instagram, outer that Dayle had “a pure heart” and “a life well lived”.

“She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful,” she said.

“She was a high-hearted spiritual being who valued her soul’s development, so I know her journey here in this dimension must have been complete.”
