In May 2022, a beloved Australian TV host died unexpectedly. Erin Jayne Plummer was only 42 years old. She left behind her husband and three daughters.

One friend described her as “truly the most beautiful soul I had ever met.” Another friend told the Daily Mail, “No words can describe how special she was and the love she had for her three girls. She absolutely adored her girls.”

With those thoughts and memories in mind, it’s all the more surprising that her cause of death was suicide.

Friends explained that she did struggle with her mental health, but they didn’t think she was in any way suicidal. One friend commented, “All of us wish we could have done more to help carry the weight of her pain. But she was happy and well the last time we saw her. Even her last Instagram post showed she was excited to be back at work.”
