Two years ago, the attractive Australian television presenter Erin Jayne Plummer passed away at the age of 42 after struggling with serious mental health issues. This Tuesday, Australian media reported another terrible news in the Plummer family, as the patriarch, Alan, was found dead last Sunday at their home in Freshwater, a beachside suburb north of Sydney.
This tragic news has left the three young daughters of the couple orphaned, who are currently awaiting adoption by a family member. A spokesperson for the New South Wales Police Force told the Daily Mail Australia that "officers from the Northern Beaches Police Area Command will prepare a report to provide information to the coroner regarding the death of a 49-year-old man in Freshwater on Sunday."
It is noteworthy that the four-bedroom house owned by the Plummers for two decades was recently sold at a public auction last March. The couple paid $675,000 for it in 2002.
After Erin's death, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to help her husband and their three daughters hire a gardener and a housekeeper to maintain the house in order. A total of $28,000 was raised. Erin rose to fame when a talent scout discovered her on Manly Beach in Sydney at a very young age and immediately launched a tourism campaign aired on NBC in the United States. From that moment on, numerous job opportunities opened up for her.
She was a versatile and beloved woman in Australia. She was a prominent synchronized swimming athlete who represented her country in three world tournaments and won 11 national titles, hosted the aerobics program Aerobics Oz Style for six years, and also led advertorial segments on other shows like Mornings with Kerri-Anne, Studio 110, and The Morning Show. Additionally, she did a variety of voice-over work for television.
