Isabelle Thomas, documentary filmmaker and wife of “Killers of the Flower Moon” producer Bradley Thomas, has died. She was 39 years old.
Isabelle Thomas committed suicide Monday at a Los Angeles hotel, the Los Angeles medical examiner determined in a report. “Multiple traumatic injuries” are listed as the main cause of her death.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to the Times on Friday that officers responded to reports of a suicide at a west Los Angeles hotel at approximately 1:20 p.m. LAPD said a woman, who jumped from the roof of the hotel, was already deceased when the officers arrived at the scene.
“Isabelle was the light of our lives,” the filmmaker's loved ones said in a statement shared with The Times. “She was brave and took advantage of all of life's opportunities without fear, showering love and kindness on her friends, family and children along the way.”
No note was left, according to TMZ, which broke the news of his death.
Isabelle (née Lawrence) Thomas was born in Bath, England, and graduated in Biological Sciences at Oxford. She moved to Los Angeles to dedicate herself to film. Her projects included a documentary about kindness and an upcoming documentary about pickleball, Deadline reported. She was a member of the Advisory Board of the UCLA Center for Storytellers and Scholars.
“Her projects were as diverse as her passions, reflecting a curiosity about people and our culture that inspired all who were lucky enough to spend time with her,” the statement added. “We remember her as a soul mate, a beautiful daughter, a sister, a devoted mother and a wife.”
Before her death, Isabelle Thomas joined her husband on the awards campaign as he promoted Martin Scorsese's latest crime epic, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The drama received 10 Oscar nominations last week.
Earlier this month, the couple was seen together at the annual BAFTA tea party in Beverly Hills. She is survived by her husband, whom she reportedly married in 2018, and two children, according to TMZ.
“Our family has been overwhelmed by his sudden death this week and we are infinitely grateful to his many friends for their great love,” his loved ones added in their statement, before asking for privacy.
Donations in memory of Isabelle Thomas can be made to the charity Choose Love, which seeks to support refugees and displaced people.
