Tributes continue to be paid to the fiance of X Factor star Jaymi Hensley, who has died after falling from a third floor hotel window in Wellingborough.

Oliver Marmon was pronounced dead after emergency services were called to the Hind Hotel in Wellingborough in Northamptonshire on Sunday night.

The pair from Bedfordshire were due to get married later this year after 14 years together.

Specially trained family liaison officers from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit Major Crime Team are supporting Olly’s family.

His family has issued photographs alongside a moving tribute to their son and brother, who they described as a “spiritual, gentle soul” who was “beautiful both inside and out.”

His mum Julie says:

“Words cannot express the devastation and heartbreak I feel over the loss of my beautiful youngest son Oliver, Olly to his friends.

“I can’t believe I am having to write this. No mother should have to do this.

“The relationship I had with Oliver was so special, he was my best friend. We spoke every single day. He called me mummy, he used to call me his guardian angel.

“Oliver was so caring, loving, quiet and always put others before himself. He was a very talented hairdresser, and it was a passion he took seriously."

His father Leigh added:

“My darling Oliver, I cannot believe that I am writing this. I would give my life to have saved yours.

“I am struggling with every emotion you can think of, grief, anger, guilt, the list goes on.

“I know that you knew how much you were loved. I was so proud of you and everything you achieved. You have been to places that I can only dream of.

“Whatever you put your mind to, you achieved. When you were younger you were a talented sportsperson, musician and of course, hairdresser – your dream job. You won medals and awards in gymnastics and hairdressing.

“Your life was too short, but you squeezed so much into it. You were so kind-hearted, a gentle soul who was just so beautiful inside and out.”

His brother Ben said:

"You are the light of happiness in every room. You are so kind and caring and happy to walk in anyone’s shadow as long as everyone else is smiling.

“You are the bravest soul and no matter how much you felt different you were always so loved by everyone. Never underestimate the difference you made and the lives you touched.

“I didn’t tell you enough, but I was immensely proud of you. Always my best friend and my little Bruva bear 🐻.”

Detectives investigating the death of a man in Sheep Street, Wellingborough, are no longer treating the case as murder following the results of a forensic post-mortem.

A 34 year old Rushden man who was arrested has been released without charge.
