The internet has been buzzing with reactions following the tragic news of Jeff Baena's passing. Fans all over have taken to social media to express their thoughts and feelings about the untimely death of the beloved indie film director.
Yesterday, when news of Baena's death first broke, many speculated whether or not his wife, Aubrey Plaza, would still be presenting at the Golden Globes tonight as planned. The 40-year-old actress was among the star-studded list of presenters announced earlier this week, which also included names like Andrew Garfield, Demi Moore, Gal Gadot, and Nicolas Cage.
While some fans urged Plaza to still attend the awards show in honor of her late husband, others criticized such requests as "insensitive" and "sickening." As a result, there has been a firestorm of arguments on social media as people try to process the loss of Baena.
The LA County Medical Examiner's office has since confirmed that Baena died by suicide just two days before the Golden Globes. The Los Angeles Fire Department shared with DailyMail.com that they responded to a call about a male decedent in the 2100 block of Fern Dale Place. The Los Angeles Police Department also confirmed that Baena was pronounced dead at the scene.
Baena's family, who are understandably devastated by the news, have requested privacy as they grieve the loss of their loved one.
