Tragic Loss: Dayle Haddon Found Dead in Suspected Carbon Monoxide Incident at Hallmark Star Marc Blucas’s Home

Model Dayle Haddon passed away and another individual was taken to the hospital following a suspected carbon monoxide leak at a residence in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on Friday, according to authorities. Documents indicate that the home is owned by Haddon’s daughter, former journalist Ryan Haddon, along with her spouse, actor Marc Blucas. 

Solebury Township police report that officials were examining a property on the 6900 block of Phillips Mill Road after a resident dialed 911 around 6:30 a.m. to report that a 76-year-old man had collapsed on the first floor of a separate office or in-law suite on the premises. 

The Lambertville-New Hope Ambulance and Rescue Squad was the first to arrive at the site and removed the man from the structure. He was transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey, and his condition was not immediately disclosed.

A second casualty, a 76-year-old woman, later identified by the Bucks County Coroner’s Office as Dayle Haddon, was discovered deceased in a second-floor bedroom in the in-law suite. Haddon gained notoriety in the 1970s and ’80s as a supermodel and later became an advocate for the humanitarian organization, UNICEF. She is also the founder of WomenOne, a 501(c)3 organization situated in New York, dedicated to fostering educational opportunities for girls and women, according to her website.

Authorities did not promptly reveal the identity of the 76-year-old man or confirm whether Blucas or Ryan Haddon were present in the home at that moment.

The New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Company detected elevated levels of carbon monoxide within the premises, according to police. 

“Initial investigation suggests that a heating unit malfunctioned, releasing a significant quantity of carbon monoxide into the carriage house,” stated Detective Sgt. Jonathan Koretzky.

Two medics were transported to Doylestown Hospital for treatment following their exposure, and a Solebury Township police officer received treatment on-site. All three are reported to be stable, as per officials.

Based on public records, Ryan Haddon and Blucas purchased the residence in 2012 for slightly over $1 million. Blucas has mentioned in various interviews that he is restoring the home, which was constructed in 1711.

The former Wake Forest University basketball player pursued an acting career in Hollywood and eventually starred in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” as Riley, one of Buffy’s romantic interests.

He has also featured in “Blue Bloods” and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” with leading roles in the TV series “Necessary Roughness” and “Killer Women.” He played the love interest of Katie Holmes in the film “First Daughter,” where Holmes portrays the daughter of the president. Michael Keaton plays the president in the motion picture.

In an appearance on the Hallmark Channel promoting the 2016 feature “Operation Christmas,” Blucas discussed restoring the historic property with his wife and children.

“It was built before George Washington was born… it’s quite remarkable, and it serves as a way to stay creatively engaged when I’m not on set,” he shared with hosts Mark Steines and Debbie Matenopoulos.

Hailing from Butler, Pennsylvania, he expressed a desire to be closer to family, which led to their return to the East Coast.

“It’s the sole region in the U.S. with that architectural style featuring ancient stone barns and houses,” Blucas remarked. “I was aware it would involve ongoing projects for life, and it indeed has.”

The family resided in the guest house on the property while the main residence underwent renovations and subsequently began acquiring animals such as chickens and rabbits, he indicated in the interview.

Ryan Haddon currently works as a life coach and hypnotherapist, as per her social media profiles. She was married to actor Christian Slater for several years, with whom she shares two children.
