    Aubrey Plaza and her husband Jeff Baena posed with pals in rare fun-filled 2024 New Year’s snaps – a year before his tragic death.

    Filmmaker Jeff, 47, died by suicide inside the Los Angeles home he shared with his actress wife Aubrey, 40. 

    In an update after his death on Friday, the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office said he died by hanging at their Los Feliz property.

    A year before things were very different as they were spending time with their friends for New Year’s including Criminal Minds star Matthew Gray Gubler.

    He shared snaps of their festivities to his Twitter account on January 8 2024 with the couple happily enjoying the celebrations. 

    They were seen sipping on Champagne, while Jeff and Matthew had a sweet picture in front of a Christmas tree together.

    Sharing the snaps Matthew had penned in his caption: ‘my new year’s resolution of ‘never standing in public’ is off to a wonderful start.’ 

    Baena’s body was discovered by an assistant in the home they purchased in 2022 and officers responded to the home at 10:25 am, the Los Angeles Fire Department told DailyMail.com. 

    ‘Death was determined for an approximately 47-year old male, no transport,’ they said in a statement. 

    ‘We responded to the 2100 block of Fern Dale Place for a death investigation. Officers responded for a male decedent,’ the Los Angeles Police Department added. The Life After Beth director was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Baena’s family told Deadline that they are devastated by the news and are asking for privacy at this time. 

    The pair were last seen together on a hike this past summer, six months before his tragic suicide. On July 5 they were seen enjoying a stroll in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park.

    Dressed in casual hiking gear, the couple appeared relaxed in one another’s company as they visited the park, a favorite among locals. 

    Baena got into film after he graduated from New York University with a film degree and moved to LA to launch his career.

    He worked low-level jobs for big directors, including Robert Zemeckis and David O. Russell as he found his footing in the industry. He worked as a production assistant for Zemeckis and as an assistant editor for Russell. 

    He is best known for directing Life After Beth, his directorial debut, which Plaza starred in, and The Little Hours. 

    Baena also co-wrote I Heart Huckabees, which was nominated for a 2004 Gotham Award for Best Feature. 

    He also wrote Life After Beth, which premiered at Sundance in 2014. His film Joshy also premiered at the famous festival and was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize. 

    The Miami native also worked on Horse Girl and Spin Me Round. 

    For his television works, he directed and executive produced Showtime series Cinema Toast. He co-directed the product with his wife. 

    He also had previously spoken candidly about mental health ahead of the release of his 2020 film Horse Girl.

    On a Reddit Ask Me Anything forum he was asked if the film’s lead Sarah, played by Alison Brie, being released from the mental hospital and if the scene was based on personal experiences. 

    In her final post with Baena shared in May 2021, the award-winning actress praised her 'darling husband'

    In her final post with Baena shared in May 2021, the award-winning actress praised her ‘darling husband’ 

    Baena openly admitted to watching his stepmom suffering from bipolar disorder saying: ‘Unfortunately, people get released all the time when they still need treatment,’ he wrote in February 2020. 

    ‘The 72-hour mandatory hold only applies to patients who are a danger to themselves, so they must be released after that appraisal period.

    ‘My first stepmom had manic depression and was in and out of facilities in Miami due to the Baker Act (5150 in California). 

    ‘While I would not consider “Horse Girl” to be an activist film, the themes of how we as a society and individuals treat persons with mental illness was a major focus and impetus for making this.’ 

    Baena and Brie cowrote the film together about the latter’s family history with mental illness, specifically the actress’ grandmother, who suffered from schizophrenia. 

    ‘That was the original impetus for writing a story like this,’ Brie, who is married to actor Dave Franco, wrote on the forum. 

    The director and husband of Aubrey Plaza also said his family history with mental illness had influenced the film’s plot as well. 

    He secretly married The White Lotus star in 2020 almost a decade after they met, keeping their relationship largely out of the limelight.

    Plaza has not publicly commented on the death of her husband. 

    The actress’s final Instagram post with her husband revealed how ‘proud’ she was of him.

    In her final post with Baena shared in May 2021, the award-winning actress praised her ‘darling husband’.

    ‘So proud of my darling husband @jeffbaena for dreaming up another film that take us to Italia to cause some more trouble,’ she captioned the post.

    The heartbreaking last post together featured the star couple lovingly gazing into each other’s eyes and was accompanied with screenshots of a Deadline article detailing their ‘new assignment’ – the 2022 film Spin Me Round. 

    Baena is survived by his wife, his mother Barbra Stern, stepfather Roger Stern, his stepmother Michele Baena, his brother Brad Baena, and his step siblings Bianca Gabay and Jed Fluxman.

    Aubrey enjoyed a New York Knicks Game just two days before his tragic death.

    The actress was seated in the front row at Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden on New Year’s Day to watch the home team play the Utah Jazz. 

    In a photo shared on the Knicks’ Instagram, Plaza was pictured in a pair of jeans, a black corduroy jacket and an orange billed cap over her straight, brunette locks.

    ‘Starting off the new year with our courtside friends,’ the organization wrote next to a carousel of high profile fans, including Tracee Ellis Ross, Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann and their daughter, Maude, and Keenan Michael Key.
