The husband of late Australian TV presenter Erin Jayne Plummer has tragically died two years after her death.
In 2022 Plummer died by suicide aged 42, with the news confirmed publicly by her co-stars Sarah Harris and Angela Bishop.
At the time, her loved ones revealed the presenter had taken her own life following a long battle with her mental health.
Now, two years on, her husband Alan Plummer has died, with a source calling the incident ‘tragic’.
The 49-year-old was found dead in Freshwater on Sydney’s northern beaches on Sunday, leaving the couple’s three daughters orphaned.
In a statement, a NSW Police Force spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: ‘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 Sunday.’

No further details were available.
Plummer was the former director of a now-defunct company called Shine VIP Tours Australia PTY LTD.
His death comes two months after he sold the family’s four-bedroom home, which they had owned for more than two decades, as also reported by the publication.
Meanwhile his wife 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, Mornings with Kerri-Anne and Channel 10 Sport for the Nutri-Grain Ironman Series.

Also earning the nickname ‘The Danoz Girl’, Plummer spent six years as a presenter for Aerobics Oz Style.
She also previously represented Australia as a synchronised swimmer at three world championships and won 11 national titles.
Her career began when she was scouted in Sydney and cast in a tourism campaign that aired on NBC in America.
It was live on air that presenters Sarah Harris and Angela Bishop revealed her death on Studio 10 two years ago.
‘We’ve got some really sad news to share this morning,’ Harris told viewers.

‘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.’
They went on to call her a ‘gorgeous human inside and out’ who was a ‘high achiever’ and ‘certainly a gold-medal mum to her three young girls’.
The presenters then said they would ‘miss her sunshine around the studio’, adding they were ‘sending lots of love and strength to her family’.
