The former United States attorney who was found dead over the weekend had suffered from a “longstanding medical issue,” Fox News has learned.

The body of Jessica D. Aber, 43, was discovered at an Alexandria, Virginia, residence on Saturday. Authorities did not release details about her death, but a family friend told Fox News on Sunday that the decedent suffered from a chronic medical condition.

“Police believe the death was the result of a longstanding medical issue,” the source said.

The Alexandria Police Department (APD) wrote on Saturday that it had received a call about an “unresponsive woman” at around 9:18 a.m. that morning.

“I am deeply grateful to senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine and to President Biden for the opportunity to lead this office and to Attorney General Garland for his steadfast leadership,” the attorney wrote. “I am proud of the work we have done with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners to enforce the law and build community trust.”

In a statement posted on X Saturday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed her condolences over Aber’s death.

“The loss of Jessica Aber, former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is deeply tragic,” Bondi wrote. “Our hearts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this profoundly difficult time.”
