Pregnant Californication star Natascha McElhone's husband was found dead on the doorstep of their London home Tuesday.

Martin Kelly, a plastic surgeon, was 42 and may have died from a heart attack.

McElhone, 36, is carrying their third child. The couple are parents to Theodore, 8, and Otis, 5.

The actress – who also starred in The Truman Show and Solaris – was filming in the U.S. at the time of Kelly's death. She is now returning to London.

"It's still a mystery about the death," Kelly's stepfather Roy Greenslade told UK's Daily Mail. "It's so unexpected. Such a fit, handsome, fighting fit young man of 42. So we are in a bit of a terrible state to be honest."

That really sucks. So sorry for her.

It sounds very suspicious how they say he was found dead on his doorstep...

RIP "Guy married to actress I don't know"

I doesn't say what time of day he was found. How long was he there before being discovered? Very odd.

...Californication?

Wow....that's terrible.

Aww - this is sad. Sometimes seemingly healthy younger people have heart attacks because of an obscure defect that has gone undetected. I've known several people (all male) where this has happened. Perhaps that's what happened here.

Yeah-like the Red Hot Chili Peppers song? It's on Showtime and stars that hot piece David Duchovny.

Oh no, that's horrible, horrible! So sad.

This was in teh papers today and they suspect he may have picked up a virus that went to his heart. I feel for her...she's pregnant and that cannot be easy to go through this in that state.

**SpookyGirl** · May 21st, 2008, 02:08 PM

How sad.

I feel terrible for her.

**Belinda** · May 21st, 2008, 02:11 PM

that's so sad. He was young...

**Folieadeux** · May 21st, 2008, 02:26 PM

That's sad

Though I must admit, I thought she was 10 years older than 36.

my dad died of a massive heart attack aged 51. he'd had his yearly check-up (including with a cardiologist), blood tests, etc. 2 months before and there was nothing wrong, no cholesterol, blood pressure was fine.
i've also heard that heart attacks in younger men tend to be more fatal than after their mid-50s

42 is ridiculously young. that's so horrible for his family.
