X Factor star's fiance dies after falling from hotel window (2024)

The fiance of X Factor star Jaymi Hensley has died after falling from a third-floor hotel window.

Oliver Marmon, also known as Olly, fell from a window at the Hind Hotel in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, on Sunday evening.

The 33-year-old was pronounced dead after emergency services were called to the scene just after 11.30pm.

Hensley, who was a member of boyband Union J, who featured on X Factor in 2012, had posted on his Instagram account in September that the pair were due to get married later this year.

Sharing a photo of himself kissing Mr Marmon's cheek, Hensley, 34, wrote: "14 years together and 1 year until "I do". I love you irrevocably and so excited that in 365 days we will finally be Mr&Mr."

In a post shared by Mr Marmon three weeks ago, he said: "Best week with my man and nine weeks and counting until we say I do!"

Police initially said they were investigating the death as murder but confirmed the probe had been closed following the results of a forensic post-mortem on Tuesday.

A 34-year-old man arrested in connection with the incident was released without charge, Northamptonshire Police said.

Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell, who led the investigation, said: "This has been a complex and fast-moving investigation, and our thoughts remain with Olly's family and loved ones at this very difficult time.

"It is only right that an incident such as this is treated with the utmost seriousness, to make sure we have done all we can to understand what has happened, and to get the answers those left behind need and want.

"In Olly's case I can confirm the evidence we have examined did not support his death as a homicide, which has now been further confirmed by the results of the preliminary forensic post-mortem report.

"Our initial findings and decision have been explained to Olly's family, who will continue to be supported by Northamptonshire Police as they mourn the loss of their loved one."

Police also shared a tribute from Mr Marmon's family, who described him as "beautiful both inside and out".

His mother Julie and stepfather Steve Peaco*ck said in a joint statement: "Words cannot express the devastation and heartbreak I feel over the loss of my beautiful youngest son Oliver, Olly to his friends."

Ms Peaco*ck described her son as her "best friend", saying: "We spoke every single day. He called me mummy, he used to call me his guardian angel.

"Oliver was so caring, loving, quiet and always put others before himself."

Meanwhile, his father Lee said he would "give my life to have saved yours", adding: "I am struggling with every emotion you can think of, grief, anger, guilt, the list goes on.

"I know that you knew how much you were loved. I was so proud of you and everything you achieved."
