Jeff Baena's brother has spoken for the first time since his death. Aubrey Plaza's husband tragically died aged 47 on Friday. The director was unresponsive when an assistant found him at his Los Angeles home. Law enforcement offers and the fire brigade from the LA area arrived at his home at 10.25am on January 3 and he was pronounced dead on the scene. The LA County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Jeff's death as suicide. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Fire Department also confirmed Jeff's cause of death.
Now, Brad Baena has taken to social media to speak following the death of his brother. Writing underneath a post shared by one of Jeff's friends, he said: "I am broken." Following his death, the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement: "Death was determined for an approximately 47-year old male, no transport.
"We responded to the 2100 block of Fern Dale Place for a death investigation. Officers responded for a male decedent." Jef was sadly pronounced dead on the scene. A spokesperson for Jeff's family, including his wife Aubrey, confirmed to the Mirror that they had been left devastated by the heartbreaking news and stated that the circumstances surrounding his death remained unclear but requested that they be granted time to grieve privately.
The couple were last seen in public together over the summer, just six months before his tragic death. Jeff and Aubrey enjoyed a stroll through Los Angeles' Griffith Park – overlooking the Hollywood Hills and iconic Hollywood sign. Baena and Plaza's romance sparked back in 2011 during her audition for his movie Life After Beth, marking the start of not just a working partnership but a romantic journey that led them through creative collaborations like Joshy (2016) and Horse Girl (2020). Fast forward to December 2021, Baena got down on one knee after ten years together.
