Résumé détaillé

Beau Jessup, daughter of British actress Lisa Maxwell, has died while studying journalism at Columbia University.

Beau Jessup, the 27-year-old daughter of British actress and television presenter Lisa Maxwell, has died while studying for a master's degree in journalism at Columbia University in New York.

Her cause of death remains unknown as Columbia Journalism School confirmed Jessup's death in a statement, extending condolences to her family, friends and classmates. The institution did not disclose the cause or circumstances of her death.

“Columbia Journalism School mourns the loss of Beau Jessup, a student in our M.S. program,” the school said in its official statement, adding that it was working with her family to provide support and assistance during the difficult time.

Jessup was expected to graduate in May 2027 as part of Columbia's Class of 2027.

Following her death, Columbia News published an interview with Jessup conducted in October for its student-focused Notebook series, with permission from her family and encouragement from the Journalism School community.

In the November 11 tribute, the university said the discussion offered a glimpse into Jessup's interests, experiences and aspirations.

Jessup had previously studied social anthropology at the London School of Economics and writing for performance at the University of Cambridge. She said those experiences helped shape her interest in cultural journalism and the relationship between institutions, identity and social expectations.

“As the daughter of a television actress, I grew up with an unusual awareness of the distance between people’s lives and the stories told about them,” Jessup said in the interview.
