Police Investigate Jessica Aber's Death as Natural Causes Confirmed

Former U.S. Attorney Jessica Aber was found dead in her Alexandria, Virginia home, and authorities believe her death was due to natural causes, with no evidence of foul play. The Alexandria Police Department continues to investigate, keeping the case open until the medical examiner provides a final ruling. Aber, 43, served as the top prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia and was appointed by President Biden in August 2021. A friend of the family indicated that her death may be linked to a longstanding medical issue. The police have requested privacy for Aber’s family during this time of mourning, and tributes have poured in acknowledging her contributions and leadership. Her resignation as U.S. attorney occurred on January 20, 2021, coinciding with President Trump's inauguration for a second term.
