The former U.S. attorney who was found dead in Alexandria, Virginia, over the weekend is believed to have died from “natural causes,” according to police.
The body of Jessica D. Aber, 43, was discovered at a home in Alexandria on Saturday, but the Alexandria Police Department say they have discovered no evidence of foul play.
“At this time, detectives have found no evidence suggesting that her death was caused by anything other than natural causes,” police said in a statement Tuesday.
Authorities continue to investigate, and police say the case will remain open until the medical examiner returns a final ruling on her manner of death. Police also urged the public to respect the privacy of Aber’s family.

Aber criticized Rahman’s actions as a “violation of his oath, his responsibility, and the law” and said the leak “placed lives at risk, undermined U.S. foreign relations, and compromised our ability to collect vital intelligence in the future.”
In 2019, Aber received the Department of Justice’s Assistant Attorney General’s Award for Exceptional Service.
