Veteran British media executive Miles Ketley, who was more recently the CEO of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s production company Stolen Picture, has died unexpectedly. He was 52.
Ketley — whose death was announced Monday, but who died on Oct. 12 — had a wide-ranging career in film and television that spanned 25 years. It’s believed his death was sudden, and a cause is still unknown.
He joined Sony Pictures Television-backed Stolen Picture in 2017, and was recently promoting the company’s paranormal comedy “Truth Seekers” for Amazon Prime Video, which is set to debut on Oct. 30. Prior to that, he served as COO of Wales-based production outfit Bad Wolf.
A joint statement from Pegg and Frost on Twitter reads: “We are beyond heartbroken at the sudden and unexpected passing of our friend and colleague, Miles Ketley. He was the captain of our ship and the head of our family at Stolen Picture.
