Former US lawyer Jessica Abber died of natural causes earlier this year, a Northern Virginia medical inspector confirmed on September 2.
Officials said the 43-year-old woman’s death was “a sudden, unexpected death of epilepsy.” Jennifer Starkey, district medical gal administrator for the Chief Medical Inspector’s Office for the Northern District of Virginia, told USA Today in an email.
The former federal prosecutor was dealing with “long-standing medical issues.” Several outlets, including FoxNews and CBS News, reported at the time of her death, citing family friends.
Abbar was found at his home by Alexandria police on the morning of March 22nd.
She served as a US lawyer for the Eastern District of Virginia from August 2021 until President Donald Trump took office in January.
Eric S. Siebert, the current US lawyer for the Eastern District of Virginia, issued a statement after Abber’s death, saying the office was “grief” at the time.
“We are in awe of how much she achieved in this world in such a short time. Her professionalism, grace and legal insight set the standard,” writes Sheebert.
What has Jessica Aber achieved as a US lawyer?
As a federal prosecutor, Abba oversaw money laundering accusations against two Russian citizens. This is a guilty plea from Siemens’ energy to corporate spying and murder convictions against members of the MS-13 gang.
In 2023, the Eastern Virginia district charged four Russian service members with war crimes, including illegal confinement, inhumane treatment and torture of Ukrainian American citizens following the 2022 Russian invasion.
Aber resigned from the US Lawyer’s Office on January 20th and ended his tenure in 2006 when he began working as a secretary.
“I have the privilege of spending my career as a prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, working with talented, hardworking civil servants who manage issues affecting citizens here and around the world,” Abber said in January. “It was an honor beyond measurement to conclude my service to the district as a US lawyer.”
