British Actor Callum Kerr’s Parents Found Dead in France in Mysterious Circumstances
Shocking news has emerged from southwest France, where British couple Andrew and Dawn Searle were found dead in their rural home. The tragic discovery was made on Thursday when a concerned neighbor, noticing their absence, went to check on them. What they found has now sparked a major investigation, with authorities treating the case as a homicide.
Andrew and Dawn, who had lived in France for about a decade, were well-known in their small community of Les Pesquiès, near Villefranche-de-Rouergue. Originally from the UK, they had built a peaceful life in the French countryside. However, their sudden and violent deaths have left both their local neighbors and loved ones back home in shock.
French police remain tight-lipped about the details of the case. However, the mayor of Villefranche-de-Rouergue has confirmed that the circumstances suggest foul play. Speculation initially pointed to a burglary gone wrong, but investigators have since ruled that out, as no knife or clear evidence of theft has been found. The house remains sealed off as forensic teams continue their work, and specialist officers from Toulouse have been brought in to assist with the investigation.

Dawn Searle was the mother of British actor and country musician Callum Kerr, best known for his roles in Virgin River on Netflix and as PC Kiss in Hollyoaks . The tragic loss of his mother and stepfather has undoubtedly left him devastated. Just in 2023, Kerr had walked his mother down the aisle when she married Andrew in a touching ceremony in France. At the time, he shared his joy on social media, saying, “Not many people can say they walked their own mother down the aisle. What a pleasure. I love you, Mum.”
As the investigation unfolds, police have yet to establish a concrete motive or suspects in the case. The autopsies, scheduled for Monday, may provide crucial answers about how the couple died. The UK’s Foreign Office has confirmed it is assisting the family and is in contact with local authorities.
The small hamlet of Les Pesquiès, home to around 100 residents, is typically a quiet and peaceful place, popular among British expats seeking a rural retreat. Now, with the unexpected deaths of the Searles, a sense of unease has settled over the community. Neighbors described them as warm and welcoming, often inviting friends over for drinks and integrating well into village life.
As the world waits for answers, one thing is certain—this heartbreaking loss has deeply affected many, from the small French village they called home to their loved ones back in the UK. The coming days will be crucial in determining what really happened to Andrew and Dawn Searle.
