The cause of death for a prominent former Biden-appointed US Attorney has been officially released months after her death.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden-era US Attorney Jessica Aber for the Eastern District of Virginia was found dead in her Alexandria, Virginia, back in March.
Aber’s family said she suffered from epilepsy and speculated that she passed away after an epileptic seizure.
However, they were waiting for more information from the medical examiner.
Now, the Alexandria Medical Examiner’s office has ruled that Aber suffered a “sudden unexpected death in epilepsy” while sleeping, confirming the family’s suspicion.
The New York Post points out that it’s unclear why it took so long to confirm Aber’s cause of death, especially since the Alexandria Police Department previously stated that detectives “found no evidence suggesting that her death was caused by anything other than natural causes.” One would think this would have been quickly confirmed.

Aber was known for spearheading high-profile investigations into CIA intelligence leaks, war crime allegations tied to individuals linked with Russia, and suspects involved in transferring sensitive U.S. technology to Moscow.
She was also a lead prosecutor in the high-profile case against a former ABC journalist who went missing after the FBI raided his home and seized his laptop. He pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges.
The timing of Aber’s death, just two months after resigning and amid her involvement in sensitive cases, sparked discussion.
Aber secured a guilty plea from ex-CIA analyst Asif Rahman, who endangered American lives by leaking top-secret documents detailing Israel’s planned strike on Iran. Aber rightly condemned Rahman’s betrayal as a “violation of his oath, his responsibility, and the law,” emphasizing the grave risks such leaks pose to U.S. foreign relations and intelligence operations.
