Aubrey Plaza was concerned about her husband, Jeff Baena, months before his de@th, according to a report.
Plaza and Baena had been separated since September 2024 when, a month later, Baena made “concerning remarks” to Plaza that prompted the actress to “call a friend to perform a welfare check on her husband,” according to a report by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, which was obtained by People.
After the welfare check, Baena began going to therapy. According to the outlet, Baena explained that he was experiencing “recent marital difficulties” with Plaza.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed authorities responded to a call near Baena’s residence on Jan. 3. The victim was pronounced de@d at the scene, the LAPD told Fox News Digital at the time.
