Dayle Haddon modeled with Blake Lively in final photoshoot before her death
Dayle Haddon modeled with Blake Lively in her final photoshoot four months before she died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.
The “Cyborg” star joined Lively in the “To Catch a Thief”-inspired shoot for the September issue of Vogue, which also featured Hugh Jackman.
In August, Haddon took to Instagram to share an image from the magazine, which showed her gazing adoringly at the “Gossip Girl” alum who was posing at a casino table in a plunging sequined gold dress.
“Loved working beside the absolutely delightful, funny and mischievous @blakelively,” Haddon wrote in her caption.
“Not only is Blake beautiful, inside and out, she is generous to a fault, fixing my dress during takes, adjusting my fabulous @cartier jewels … making sure I was ‘shining’ during the shoot!”
The late actress also referred to Jackman as “elegant and witty.”
Lively, 37, and Jackman, 56, have yet to speak out about Dayle’s death.
On Friday, the retired model was found lifeless by a Pennsylvania police department at the home of her son-in-law, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum Marc Blucas, at 6:30 a.m. local time, according to a police report. Haddon was 76.
Responding officers also discovered a 76-year-old man, reportedly identified as Walter Blucas, passed out in the house. He is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in New Brunswick, NJ.
No one else was affected by the suspected carbon monoxide leak.
The Solebury Township Police Department suspects “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system” to be the cause of the leak.
Per the report, the New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Company “detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property.”
The deputy coroner of Bucks County, Eliot Gross, told USA Today that a toxicology report is being conducted to determine Haddon’s official cause of death.
The Canadian-born actress’ daughter, Ryan Haddon, took to Instagram Saturday to mourn her mother’s death with a series of throwback photos.
“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,” Ryan wrote.
“She held so many up, saw their greatness sometimes hidden to them, and always built bridges with her own connections to help them ascend. She was everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.”
Prior to her death, Dayle seemed to be in good spirit during an appearance on Claudia Mahler’s “Shift Happens” podcast earlier this month to discuss aging, worth and values.
