Jeff Baena's cause of death confirmed by police ahead of Aubrey Plaza's Golden Globes appearance The cause of death for Aubrey Plaza's film director husband, Jeff Baena, has been confirmed as suicide by the LA County Medical Examiner's Office.
Their first encounter took place back in 2011, when Plaza auditioned for the role in Baena's film Life After Beth.
He graduated from the New York University Tisch School of the Arts with a degree in film before relocating to Los Angeles to chase his directing dreams, where he eventually met his future wife, actress Aubrey Plaza.
He is best known for his work on films such as Life After Beth (2014), Joshy (2016), The Little Hours (2017), Horse Girl (2020), Spin Me Round (2022), and for co-writing I Heart Huckabees (2004).
Baena and Plaza were together for more than a decade before they wed, though they chose to keep their personal life largely under wraps.
