Aubrey Plaza’s Golden Globes role in doubt after death of husband Jeff Baena

Adrien Brody, the main man of Brutalist, was seen suppressing his tears as the cameras panned to him.

Plaza, who got married in 2021, is a well-known independent film star who starred in Joshy, The Little Hours, and Life After Beth.

The LA County Fire Department’s radio call from the night of his shocking death was obtained by the U.S. Sun.

It sent a unit “to a hanging” at the Los Feliz address, according to officials.

At 10.25 a.m., an aide discovered his death at the house the couple had purchased together in 2022.

At the scene, Baena was declared deceased.

Lastly, Aubrey Plaza and Jeff’s family are in my heart today. Good night.

“We responded to a death investigation and the case is being handled by the Coroner’s Office,” the Los Angeles Police Department informed The U.S. Sun.

The screenwriter’s death by hanging was confirmed by the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office.

According to US outlet Deadline, his family is “devastated” by the unexpected news and has requested seclusion.

After hearing the news, Baena’s distraught brother Bradt informed of his heartbreak.

Brad commented on an Instagram post made by Adam Pally, a friend of the Baena, saying, “I am broken.”

After ten years together, Baena and Plaza, who appeared in Parks and Recreation, got married over four years ago.

Prior to Plaza referring to Baena as her “darling husband” in a heartfelt Instagram post in 2021, they kept their engagement and marriage a secret.

In the post about their last time together, Plaza expressed how “proud” she was of him.

Baena grew up in Miami before moving to New York to attend a university’s film school.

After that, he began working as a filmmaker in Los Angeles before turning to writing.

He co-wrote the popular movie I Heart Huckabees in 2004 alongside Hollywood heavyweights Naomi Watts, Jude Law, and Jason Schwartzman.

Ten years later, he got his big break as a solo actor in the zombie movie Life After Beth, which starred comedic icon John C. Reilly and his future wife Plaza.

Prior to its A24 release, the movie was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.

Plaza publicly commended her ex-boyfriend for assisting her in breaking into the TV and movie industries.

She said to People: “I believe that when you’re with someone who works in your sector, they have a better understanding of what you’re going through.

“So obviously you are able to support each other and really understand kind of the journey that we re both on.”

Throughout his career, Baena received multiple award nominations for his writing and directing abilities.

In 2016, he received a second nomination for the Grand Jury Prize for Joshy.

A year later, his film The Little Hours was nominated for the 2017 Edinburgh International Film Festival’s Audience Award.

You’re Not Alone

Suicide affects people from all walks of life, including the homeless, the unemployed, doctors, builders, football players, and reality stars.

It is more lethal than vehicle accidents and cancer, and it is the leading cause of death for those under 35.

In addition, men are three times as likely than women to commit suicide.

But it is rarely spoken, a taboo that, unless we all pause and pay attention right away, could continue its murderous onslaught.

The Sun started the You’re Not Alone campaign for this reason.

The idea is that we can all do our part to save lives by exchanging helpful tips, increasing awareness, and removing the stigma associated with discussing mental health issues.

Let’s all make a commitment to listen to others and seek assistance when necessary.You’re not alone.
