In a somber revelation, the family of Jessica Aber, a dedicated US Attorney from the Biden administration, has shared the cause behind her untimely passing. Aber, who served with distinction in the Eastern District of Virginia, was discovered lifeless in her Alexandria home on a quiet Saturday morning.
The Alexandria Police Department was called to the scene early that day, responding to reports of an unresponsive woman. Upon arrival, they identified the deceased as Jessica Aber, age 43, confirming her identity post family notification.
According to her family, Aber valiantly battled epilepsy, a condition they believe led to her passing during an epileptic seizure. They await further clarification from the medical examiner in the forthcoming weeks, though the police have stated preliminary findings suggest natural causes with no indications of foul play.
The family expressed their grief in a heartfelt statement, underscoring the shock and sorrow that has enveloped them since Aber’s unexpected death. They appealed for privacy during this challenging time as they come to terms with their profound loss.
