Model Dayle Haddon dies after suspected carbon monoxide leak in Pennsylvania home
Model, actress and humanitarian Dayle Haddon died Friday after what police believe was a carbon monoxide leak at a Bucks County, Pennsylvania, home.
Police from Solebury Township in Bucks County, which is in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, began investigating a property at 6:30 a.m. Friday, after a resident called 911 to report a 76-year-old man was lying down, passed out on the first floor of a detached “in-law” suite.
The man was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey, according to the police report. His condition was not immediately available. A second victim, a 76-year-old woman, was found dead in the detached suite’s second-floor bedroom.
Eliot Gross, the deputy coroner of Bucks County, confirmed to USA TODAY that the female victim was Haddon. Toxicology reports to determine the cause of death are expected on Saturday, according to Gross.
Volunteer firefighters on the scene detected a “high level of carbon monoxide” in the property, according to the police report. Two medics were transferred to the hospital for carbon monoxide exposure, and one was treated on the scene.
CBS News reported that the home is owned by Haddon’s daughter, former journalist Ryan Haddon, and Ryan’s husband, the actor Marc Blucas.
The Canadian-born Haddon was one of the top models in the 1970s, posing on the cover of the 1973 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Haddon starred in the 1973 Disney movie “The World’s Greatest Athlete” and in Hollywood films such as 1979’s football satire “North Dallas Forty” along with Nick Nolte.
Haddon worked as L’Oréal spokesperson and was the author of “Ageless Beauty: A Woman’s Guide to Lifelong Beauty and Well-Being.”
Haddon traveled the world as an ambassador for the humanitarian aid organization UNICEF. She is also the founder of WomenOne, a charity focused on creating educational opportunities for girls and women, according to her website.

Big spending expected from outside groups
In Pennsylvania, November’s general election will feature three Democrats running to retain their seats, putting Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the line. All three justices — Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht — face a “yes” or “no” vote to win another 10-year term.
Pending in Pennsylvania courts are cases that challenge laws limiting the use of Medicaid to cover the cost of abortions and requiring certain mail-in ballots to be disqualified.
In 2023, business associations, political party campaign arms, Planned Parenthood, partisan advocacy groups, labor unions, lawyers’ groups, environmental organizations and wealthy GOP donors, including Richard Uihlein and Jeffrey Yass, pushed spending above $70 million in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
The Wisconsin race alone topped $51 million, breaking national records for spending on a judicial race.
Abortion rights were the dominant theme in that contest, won by a Democratic-backed judge whose victory gave liberals majority control of the court for the first time in 15 years.
Wisconsin’s race this year is expected to cost even more, with the two candidates already raising more than was brought in at this point in 2023.
Schimel, in an interview last year on WISN-AM, said outside groups “are committed to making sure we take back the majority on this court” and that he was confident “we’re going to have the money to do the things we have to do to win this.”
He recently launched a $1.1 million television ad buy statewide, marking the first spending on TV ads in the race. Crawford went on the air a week later.
Spending exceeded $22 million in Pennsylvania’s 2023 contest won by the Democrat, whose campaign focused on attackingrulings by the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority.
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – In order to fight the healthcare staffing crisis in Pennsylvania, the Training and Education Fund will open a new training hub in Western P.A. due to its previous Pittsburgh success.
“We’re excited to be able to expand the great work we’re already doing in these communities,” said Lisa Williams, Executive Director of the Training and Education Fund.
The new training hub is being funded by an almost $400,000 PA Industry Partnership grant in conjunction with the PA Workforce Development Board, the Department of Labor and Industry and the Department of Community and Economic Development.
The training hub will partner with Saber Healthcare, Transitions Healthcare, Southern Alleghenies Workforce Development Board and more organizations to bring more caregivers back into the field.
TEF said Pennsylvania’s long-term care industry has been in the middle of a staffing crisis for years but was worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recent workforce estimates and data show that around 30 percent of Certified Nurse Aides left bedside care and now there is a very minimal amount of caregivers entering the long-term care field to replace them, according to TEF.
“Pennsylvania desperately needs more well-trained CNAs, training and support programs for people who want to start a career in healthcare as a CNA are often incredibly difficult to access,” said Matthew Yarnell, President of SEIU Healthcare PA.
