New details have emerged surrounding the sudden death of British actress Lisa Maxwell’s daughter Beau Jessup, who died earlier this month at age 27.
Sources tell Page Six that Jessup’s death was “not suspicious” and involved “no criminality.”
Page Six has reached out to the NYPD for comment but has not yet received a response.
Jessup was the daughter of Maxwell, 62, best known for playing Samantha Nixon in the British crime series “The Bill” and appearing as a panelist on the talk show “Loose Women,” and her husband, Paul Jessup, 58.
Earlier today, the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to the New York Daily News that the cause and manner of death remained undetermined.
“We are investigating. The cause and manner of death are awaiting further study,” the office told the publication in an email.
Jessup’s death was announced Monday, Nov. 9, by the Columbia Journalism School, where she was pursuing a master’s degree in journalism.
“Columbia Journalism School mourns the loss of Beau Jessup, a student in our master’s program,” the university said in a statement. “We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, classmates and all who knew and loved her.”
The school added that it was “working with Beau’s family to offer support and assistance during this difficult time.”
In honor of the student, Columbia on Wednesday released an interview with Jessup that was conducted the previous month, with permission from her family.
During the conversation, Jessup spoke about her interest in cultural journalism and how growing up as the daughter of an actress shaped her understanding of media.
She said she became fascinated with “who gets to tell people’s stories and what happens when those stories enter the public domain.”
Jessup was scheduled to graduate in May 2027.
She previously studied social anthropology at the London School of Economics and wrote for performances at the University of Cambridge.
Additionally, the Columbia student founded SpecialName, a website that helps Chinese parents choose English names for their children.
She had hoped to pursue journalism and writing after graduating from Columbia.
His parents – who married in July 2014 – have not yet spoken publicly about the tragedy.
