British actress and Extras star Ashley Jensen is mourning the death of her husband after he was suddenly found unconscious at home.
Ms Jensen, 48, married actor and writer Terence Beesley in 2007 and an ambulance crew rushed to their home in Camerton, Somerset, following a desperate 999 call.
Paramedics arrived 10 minutes after the alarm was raised and tried to save the 60-year-old but he was pronounced dead a short while later.
The cause of his death is not known and an inquest will not finish until next year.
Mr Beesley, who recently appeared in ITV’s drama series Victoria, had an eight-year-old son, Francis, with Ms Jensen.
She is best for known for her role in Extras alongside Ricky Gervais and also for her 10-year stint in the comedy Ugly Betty.
A spokesman for Ms Jensen told The Sun: ‘Ashley is devastated and respectfully asks for privacy at this extremely sad and difficult time.’
A source told the newspaper: ‘Nobody saw this coming. Terence and Ashley’s friends and family are all devastated. This is a heart-breaking time for them.’
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Mr Beesley added: ‘It is with great sadness that I can confirm that Terence passed away at the end of November.’
The couple met in 1999 while they were both involved in a London theatre production of King Lear.
They married eight years later while Ms Jensen was working in the US.
