Former Sports Illustrated model Dayle Haddon dies at 76 from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning
Dayle Haddon, a former "Sports Illustrated" model and actress, has died at age 76 from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in Pennsylvania. Authorities found her unresponsive in a home, where a faulty gas heating system was identified as the cause of the leak. A 76-year-old man, Walter J. Blucas, was hospitalized in critical condition due to the same incident. Two medics were treated for carbon monoxide exposure, and a police officer received care at the scene. Haddon was known for her modeling career in the 1970s and 1980s and for her work in films. She returned to modeling after her husband's death in 1991, advocating against age discrimination in the industry.
