Aubrey Plaza was reportedly separated from Jeff Baena at the time of his death earlier this year, according to a Los Angeles medical examiner.
In the investigative summary report, the medical examiner noted, “The decedent, Jeffrey Baena, was a 47-year-old Caucasian male.
He had been experiencing recent marital difficulties and had been separated from his wife since September 2024.”
News of Baena’s death broke in January, when it was revealed that he died by suicide after being found unconscious in his Los Angeles home.
The report states that Baena’s dog walker discovered his body.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” a spokesperson for Plaza, 40, said in a statement to Us Weekly that month. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”
In addition to Plaza, Baena is survived by his parents and other family members. The couple had been together for 14 years, meeting in 2011 and marrying in 2020.
Plaza has not commented further on Baena’s death or their reported separation.
She made her first public appearance since his passing at the SNL 50th anniversary special in February, after skipping the Golden Globes.
