Husband of British filmmaker Isabelle Thomas who jumped to her death from Los Angeles hotel ‘was filing for divorce and custody of their children at the time’

A Hollywood film producer was divorcing his wife and seeking custody of their children when she jumped to her death from a hotel balcony.

Isabelle Thomas, 39, was found lying by the pool at Hotel Angeleno in Los Angelos on January 29.

The English heiress shared twin daughters Poppy and Grace, both three, with Oscar-nominated producer Bradley Thomas, whom she married in 2018.

However, court papers have now revealed that the famed producer had filed for divorce four months before her death citing “irreconcilable differences” and asked for legal and physical custody of the twins.

Thomas is seen in 2012 at London’s Mahiki nightclub, once a popular haunt for Prince William and Harry

According to the Sun, Isabelle was caught on September 15, 2023 and was given 30 days to file a response, while the action prevented her from taking the children out of state.

She subsequently failed to attend the December 13 hearing and Bradley requested “additional time to serve defendant and file proof of service of summons” at the hearing, after which the case was adjourned.

The manner of death was listed as suicide by the LA County Coroner’s Office, citing multiple traumatic injuries.

On February 1, three days after his wife’s death, Bradley’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the divorce case without prejudice.

Born in the Cotswolds as Isabelle Lawrence, her father was Sir Henry Lawrence, 7th Baronet of Lucknow – a senior physicist at Cheltenham General Hospital, who subsequently became the head of the radiotherapy unit at the Bristol Oncology Centre.

She enjoyed a privileged childhood during which she attended the private King Edward’s School and Prior Park College in Bath.

She then attended Oxford University and graduated with a degree in biological sciences. A varied career followed, during which Thomas addressed the UN and the World Bank, among others, and was appointed as a technical advisor by former British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Thomas also loved to party and worked as a DJ, with photos uploaded to an old Facebook profile showing her on a night out at glitzy events in London.

She moved to California and continued her work as a consultant and producer and was appointed to the UCLA Center of Storytellers & Scholars Advisory Board.

She was a DJ with performances such as Ibiza Rocks, The Grand Prix and the official afterparty for the Grammy Awards. She was a well-known face on the transatlantic social scene, with friends including musician James Blake and his presenter girlfriend Jameela Jamil.

Thomas was also photographed with Amy Winehouse at a 2010 charity event in Camden, London, where the tragic singer lived.
