OLLY Marmon’s cause of death has been revealed as heartfelt tributes flood in for the “spiritual and gentle soul”.
Union J star James ‘Jaymi’ Hensley, 34, was left devastated after his partner Olly, 33, sadly died in the early hours of Monday morning.

Emergency services rushed to the three-star Hind Hotel in Wellingborough, Northampton, after Olly “fell from a third floor window” at around 11.30pm on Sunday.
He was treated at the scene, but was pronounced dead shortly after midnight on Monday.
X-factor star Jaymi had been in a relationship with hairstylist Olly since 2009 and the pair got engaged in 2014.
The pair both met when they were 18.
Jaymi was one of the founding members of Union J in 2011 – although the group was originally a trio known as Triple J.
They auditioned for the ninth series of The X Factor, becoming Union J after fellow contestant George Shelley joined Jaymi, and bandmates JJ Hamblett and Josh Cuthbert.
The quartet came fifth in the competition, which was eventually won by solo singer James Arthur – beating Rylan into fifth, in the same series as Ella Henderson.
The group signed to Sony Music subsidiary RCA Records, releasing debut single ‘Carry You’ in June 2013.
Their self-titled debut studio album followed in October 2013 and peaked at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart.
But they left RCA Records in April 2014 and signed with Epic Records.
A second LP, named ‘You Got It All – The Album’ came out the following December.
George left the group in 2016 before Josh walked out two years later – leaving Jaymi and JJ as a duo, before the pair officially disbanded in 2019.
They announced a reunion show at London Palladium in 2022 to celebrate Union J’s 10th anniversary and a comeback tour – only for Jaymi to sensationally quit ahead of the gigs.
It comes after the couple recently shared an Instagram snap while on a trip to Norway.
Both smiled in the selfie, while adoring fans showed their support for the doting pair.
In September, Hensley shared a post celebrating their anniversary.
The post, showing him kissing Olly on the cheek, said: “14 years together and 1 year until ‘I do!'”
