Jessica Aber, the former Biden-appointed US Attorney who was found dead in her home earlier this year, died from epilepsy, officials have revealed.
Aber, 43, suffered a “sudden unexpected death in epilepsy” while sleeping at her home in Alexandria, Virginia, in late March, the local Medical Examiner’s Office told the Virginian-Pilot.
Her family said in a statement that she suffered from “epilepsy and epileptic seizures for many years,” according to the Pilot.
Aber had led the Office of the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia during the Biden administration but resigned when President Trump retook the White House in January.
She gained national attention during her three years heading the office prosecuting high-profile cases, including a CIA leaker and Russian war criminals.
Authorities found her dead on the morning of March 22, and the Alexandria Police Department said at the time their detectives “found no evidence suggesting that her death was caused by anything other than natural causes.”
