X Factor Star’s Fiance Dies from Head Injuries, Inquest Reveals

An inquest into the tragic death of Oliver Marmon, the fiance of Union J singer Jaymi Hensley, has been initiated and postponed until the following year. The session at Northampton’s Guildhall disclosed that further examinations are underway after the 33-year-old Mr. Marmon fell from a third-floor hotel window last month. During the brief hearing where no family or witnesses were present, Hassan Shah, the assistant coroner for Northamptonshire, mentioned that Mr. Marmon’s body had been released to his family.

Mr. Shah stated, “I now open the inquest touching the death of Oliver James Marmon. Mr. Marmon died (on) August 12, 2024, at the Hind Hotel in Wellingborough. The provisional cause of death is head injuries, pending further tests.” He added that the inquest is adjourned until Wednesday, March 12, with an estimated duration of two hours.

Oliver Marmon, also known as Olly, was set to marry Jaymi Hensley this month, as indicated in a post on Mr. Hensley’s Instagram. Tragically, Mr. Marmon, from Rushden, was pronounced dead after falling from the hotel window, where emergency services responded to the scene. Following his passing, his family described him as a “little ray of sunshine” and emphasized his caring and selfless nature.

  • The inquest into Oliver Marmon’s death has been opened and adjourned until next year.
  • Further tests are pending after he fell from a third-floor hotel window last month.
  • The provisional cause of death is head injuries.
  • Police initially investigated the death as murder but later ruled it out after a forensic examination.

Although police initially treated the case as a homicide, the subsequent forensic post-mortem examination did not align with a murder investigation, leading to the closure of the probe. The evidence gathered during the inquiry did not support the death being considered a homicide, authorities stated.

The sudden loss of Oliver Marmon has left his family devastated, who praised his kind-hearted and generous nature. As the investigation unfolds, the circumstances surrounding his tragic death continue to emerge, shedding light on the events leading to the untimely passing of the beloved fiance.
