The husband of Extras actress Ashley Jensen took his own life in his Somerset home, an inquest has heard. In a statement read to the hearing Ms Jensen, who identified herself to responding officers as Ashley Beesley, said she came home, found her husband and called the authorities. “Terry and I had been together for 18 years but I had not idea he was capable of what he did.”Coroner Peter Harrowing concluded that Mr Beesley’s death had been as a result of suicide. “There is no evidence that I have heard to indicate why Mr Beesley took the act that he did but in any event it is not my function to answer the question why Mr Beesley might have taken that act,” said Mr Harrowing. “Mr Beesley knew that his wife and young child were not at the house and he would not be disturbed… I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Beesley made a deliberate act.”Avon Coroner’s Court heard Mr Beesley’s medical cause of death was carbon monoxide toxicity.
