Husband of Aussie TV presenter dies two years after his wife's passing
Alan Plummer, husband of TV presenter Erin Jayne Plummer who died in 2022, has passed away.
The 49-year-old passed away in a suspected self-harm incident in Sydney's northern beaches on Saturday, with his death leaving the couple's three daughters orphaned.
The tragedy comes two years after his wife, who was a host on Studio 10, died at just 42 years old in May 2022.
Erin represented Australia as a synchronised swimmer at three world championships and won 11 national titles, before going on to have a successful career hosting advertorials, appearing on Studio 10, TVSN, Mornings with Keri-Anne and The Morning Show.
At the time of Erin's death, Studio 10 host Sarah Harris shared the devastating news with the audience.
“For two decades, Erin has 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 megawatt smile."
“Erin was just a gorgeous human inside and out... We'll miss your sunshine around the studio, Erin Jayne, and all of us here are sending lots of love and strength to her family. You'll be very missed.”
A NSW Police Force spokesperson confirmed the Alan's death in a statement to Daily Mail Australia, saying, “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 Saturday.”
Mr Plummer had recently sold the family’s four-bedroom Freshwater home, which they had owned for more than two decades.
He was the former director of Shine VIP Tours Australia PTY LTD — a now-defunct company that was shut down in 2020.
