Beau was the only child of TV personality and actress Maxwell, 62 and her husband Paul Jessup. She is yet to officially comment on her daughter's death.
However further details have now emerged following the heartbreaking death of Beau.
The New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed that both the cause and manner of Beau’s death remain undetermined according to reports.
“We are investigating. The cause and manner of death are pending further study,” a response read.
However, sources have since told Page Six that Beau’s death is not being treated as suspicious with 'no criminality' involved in her death.
Lisa is yet to speak out following the tragedy, however her former Loose Women co-star Kaye Adams has paid tribute to Beau and sent her condolences to the family. Lisa was a panellist on the show between 2009 and 2014.
"You may have already seen the devastating news about our former Loose Women Lisa Maxwell today. Lisa's daughter Beau has died suddenly at the age of 27," she said.
“There's nothing to say, the feeling of sadness is just overwhelming, we are sending all our love to Lisa, her husband Paul and all of their family and friends.”
Beau earned a spot in the prestigious Ivy League university’s journalism school and was pictured in its Class of 2027 in September. She was due to graduate in May.
In a recent interview shared by Columbia University, Beau spoke of her aspirations, explaining" “I want to work as a journalist and writer, reporting on people, culture, and social questions with the rigor I’m learning at Columbia.
“I’m particularly drawn to journalism for its power and immediacy, while continuing to write for theatre when a subject benefits from being explored.
"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.
"I saw how journalism could illuminate someone’s experiences, but also how those experiences could be distorted, simplified, or transformed into a public narrative over which the subject had very little control."
