Late star’s husband dies 2 years after suicide

The husband of late Studio 10 star Erin Jayne Plummer has tragically died under similar circumstances just two years after her death.

The husband of late Australian TV star Erin Jayne Plummer has tragically died following an alleged self-harm incident two years after his late wife’s suicide.

Alan Plummer, 49, was found dead at the family’s Freshwater home, in Sydney’s northern beaches, on Saturday, according to Daily Mail.

The couple shared three daughters, who have now been left orphaned.

In a statement, a NSW Police Force spokesman said: “Officers from Northern Beaches Police Area Command will prepare a report for the information of the Coroner regarding the death of a 49-year-old man at Freshwater on Saturday.”

His death comes two months after he had sold the family home he once shared with his late wife, Erin, in a private auction.

Erin died in 2022 from suicide after a battle with mental illness.

She was best known for her TVSN advertorials and appeared regularly on Today Extra and Studio 10.

She also had hosting roles on MTV, Guest TV, TVSN, Totally Active TV, The Morning Show and Channel 10 Sport for the Nutri-Grain Ironman Series.

Erin also previously represented Australia as a synchronised swimmer at three world championships and won 11 national titles.

The swimmer-turned-presenter’s death was revealed on air on Studio 10 by presenters Sarah Harris and Angela Bishop.

Harris told viewers: “We’ve got some really sad news to share this morning.

“Over the weekend, Studio 10 lost a bit of its sparkle with our friend and advertorial host Erin Jayne passing away suddenly.

“For two decades, Erin Jayne’s been a friendly and familiar face on Australian telly and for a lot of that, she’s been brightening up our mornings with her bubbly personality and mega-watt smile.”

“Erin was just a gorgeous human inside and out, and if it wasn’t for TV, perhaps Erin may have had a sporting career.

“She represented Australia in synchronised swimming and even surf life saving, and there’s no question that Erin Jayne was a high achiever, and certainly a gold-medal mum to her three young girls.

“We’ll miss your sunshine around the studio, Erin Jayne, and all of us here are sending lots of love and strength to her family. You’ll be very missed.”
