English heiress, Isabelle Lawrence died by suicide in January 2024. And now, it has come to light that four months before her death, her husband, American film producer, Bradley Thomas had started divorce proceedings and custody battle for their two children.
Suicidal death of Isabelle Lawrence
Isabelle Lawrence was an English heiress and daughter of Henry Lawrence and his ex-wife, Penelope Nunan. Henry was the 7th Baronet of Lucknow, British India. On 29 January 2024, she was found dead by the pool of Hotel Angeleno in Brentwood. Postmortem revealed multiple injuries on her body due to trauma.
The forensic experts put her death as suicidal jumping from an upper-floor balcony of the hotel. However, Isabelle left no suicidal note.
The case was closed but the final report is awaited. Her parents and family were devastated. Her father, Henry had said at that time to The Sun UK:
“I have absolutely no idea why this happened or what was troubling her. It is so awful. […] I was last in contact with her a couple of weeks ago.”
Penelope, Isabelle’s mother mourned:
“This is the worst possible nightmare…my daughter is married to an American who is in the spotlight, and he is still trying to deal with it. It is a very sad event.”
The ongoing divorce prior to death
It is learnt that Isabelle and her husband, American music producer, Bradley Thomas, 58 were divorcing at the time she died. On 15 September 2023, Bradley had applied in court for legal separation from his wife and also custody of their two children, twins, 3. The reason for the divorce was put as irreconcilable differences.
Isabelle had 30 days to respond and was told to not take her children out of the state. There was a case review session on 13 December 2023 in Los Angeles at the Superior court, but Isabelle did not attend it. Bradley’s lawyers asked for time to re-serve the summon and file proof of it.
However, on 1 February 2024 after Isabelle’s death, Bradley put in his papers to dismiss the case with no prejudice.
But while all this was going on, Isabelle and Bradley had made some public appearances together. They were at the BAFTA tea party on 13 January 2024.
