Olly Marmon fell to his death

Stylist Olly Marmon has tragically passed away at the age of 33.

The fiancé of Union J band member Jaymi Hensley fell 30 feet from a window of the Hind Hotel in Wellingborough, Northampton.

Olly was reported dead at the scene.

“Ambulances rushed to the scene after he fell at approximately 11.30 pm on Sunday night but he was pronounced dead at the scene an hour later,” reports The Mirror.

The Sun reports: “The case was expected to ultimately be treated as an accident and passed to the coroner. Nevertheless, police continue to appeal for any footage of the tragedy. Confusion persists over how Olly fell through the tight, one foot by two foot open window in a CCTV blackspot.”

Olly’s mother, Julie and stepfather, Steve Peacock, paid tribute to him following his untimely passing.

“Words cannot express the devastation and heartbreak I feel over the loss of my beautiful youngest son Oliver, Olly to his friends…”

Jaymi and Olly were due to marry

Olly leaves behind his fiancé, Jaymi, who was a contestant on The X Factor in 2012.

The couple was due to marry this summer. Taking to Instagram in July, Olly shared holiday photographs of the two together and wrote: “Best week with my man and 9 weeks and counting until we say I do!”

At the time, Olly’s mother wrote on the post: “Two months to go on the 24th! Very excited about your big day. Love you very much.”

Part of Jaymi’s post’s caption reads: “I love you irrevocably and so excited that In 365 days we will finally be Mr&Mr ! 24 XXIV.”
