Former X Factor star and Union J member Jaymi Hensley’s fiancé Olly Marmon has died following a fall from a hotel window. It is understood that Olly, a hairstylist, fell from a window at the Hind Hotel in Wellingborough, Northants at approximately 11.30pm on Sunday, August 11.
Efforts were made to revive him, but he was pronounced dead an hour later at 12.30am on Monday, August 12. Jaymi, who was a part of the band Union J who came fourth in the 2011 series of The X Factor , was engaged to Olly after 14 years together, and were due to marry in just six weeks at the time of his death.
A post shared by Olly Marmon (@ollymarmon) Olly’s death was initially treated as a murder, and police had arrested and questioned a man on suspicion of murdering him — however, the investigation is no longer being treated as murder following a forensic post-mortem examination. Preliminary results from the post-mortem found that he fell from a height. ‘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,’ Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell said of the investigation.
‘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 continued to be supported by Northamptonshire Police as they mourn the loss of their loved one.
‘A 34-year-old man arrested in connection with this incident has been released without charge and is now assisting the investigation team with the coroner’s process.’ Olly had just recently posted a series of photos of himself and Jaymi on holiday in Norway, where he was counting down the weeks before their wedding — writing on his Instagram ‘Best week with my man and 9 weeks and counting until we say I do!’ Olly’s mother paid tribute to her son following his tragic passing, saying that he was ‘caring, loving and talented.’ ‘Words cannot express the devastation and heartbreak I feel over the loss of my beautiful youngest son Oliver, Olly to his friends,’ she wrote.
‘I can’t believe I am having to write this. No mother should have to do this. ‘The relationship I had with Oliver was so special, he was my best friend.
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.
He was a very talented hairdresser, and it was a passion he took seriously,’ she continued. ‘More recently he had been working with his stepdad Steve gardening and loved it so much. He was spiritual and loved the outdoors.
‘I will miss my little Oliver so much and don’t know how I will go on without him. Such a devastating loss to all our family including his brothers Ben and James and sister Alex, as well as his Auntie Loraine, Uncle Simon and cousin Sophie.’.
