A Hollywood film producer was divorcing his wife and seeking custody of their children when she jumped to her death from a hotel balcony.
Isabelle Thomas, 39, was found lying next to the pool area of the Angeleno Hotel in Los Angeles on January 29.
The English heiress shared twin daughters, Poppy and Grace, both 3 years old, with Oscar-nominated producer Bradley Thomas, whom she married in 2018.
However, court documents have revealed that four months before his death, the famous producer had filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” and requested legal and physical custody of the twins.

According to the Sun, Isabelle was notified on September 15, 2023 and given 30 days to file a response, while the action prevented her from removing the children from the state.
He then failed to attend a hearing on December 13 and Bradley requested “additional time to serve the defendant and file proof of service of subpoena” at the hearing, and the case was put on hold.
The manner of death was ruled a suicide by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, citing multiple traumatic injuries.
On February 1, three days after his wife’s death, Bradley’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the divorce case without prejudice.
