"The investigation indicates a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak," authorities shared in an update on their department website.
Meanwhile, 76-year-old Walter Blucas was found passed out on the first floor of the home and is currently in the hospital receiving treatment. As ABC 6 reported, other family members were in the main house on the property and were not affected by the leak.
Before Haddon's death, she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1973, represented companies like Revlon and Esteé Lauder, and became a UNICEF ambassador.
Haddon's daughter, Ryan, shared a heartfelt tribute to Instagram, following the news of her mother's passing. She included both current photos of her mom, along with some of Haddon's modeling pictures.
"She held so many up, saw their greatness sometimes hidden to them, and always built bridges with her own connections to help them ascend," Ryan Haddon wrote. "She was everyone's greatest champion. An inspiration to many."
"I always trust the timing of things," she added in the caption. "There are no accidents and certainly how we enter and exit this world is mystical and unknowable. She was a high-hearted spiritual being that put value on her soul's evolution, so I know her journey here in this dimension must have been complete."
