Investigators believed the producer's wife reportedly jumped from a "high-up floor" of the hotel. As for reasoning, law enforcement says there was no suicide note at the scene.
The case is currently being investigated by the Los Angeles Coroner's Office and is officially listed as a suicide. The official cause of death is "multiple traumatic injuries" that are consistent with a major fall.

Director Martin Scorsese recently spoke out regarding the film and its narrative of depicting the “natural order of things."
“The idea that one could rationalize that if the Osage are not going to be of any use, if they’re going to be phased out anyway, why don’t we just, you know, help them go” he told Deadline. “And, ultimately, do we really feel any guilt for that? I don’t mean you and I, but when you’re doing what was being done to the Osage, and if you tend to dehumanize someone.”
He also spoke with TIME about the movie's story, claiming “after a certain point, I realized I was making a movie about all the white guys, meaning I was taking the approach from the outside in, which concerned me.”
The official synopsis of 'Killers of the Flower Moon' reads:
“At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murde. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Gladstone), Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal.”
Bradley Thomas, who worked on 'Killers of the Flower Moon', is also known for his work on 'Dumb and Dumber,' 'There's Something About Mary,' 'Kingpin,' 'Shallow Hal,' 'All the Money in the World,' and 'Triangle of Sadness.'
Isabelle is survived by her husband and their two children. She was 39.
