Former US Attorney Jessica Aber, 43, died

A cause of death has finally been revealed for Jessica Aber, the former Biden-appointed US Attorney who was found dead in her home more than five months ago.

Aber — who had recently resigned from her powerful position when she was found at home in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 22 — suffered a “sudden unexpected death in epilepsy” while sleeping, the local Medical Examiner’s Office told the Virginian-Pilot.

It was not immediately clear why it had taken so long for the cause of death to be announced.

However, the Alexandria Police Department had said early on that detectives “found no evidence suggesting that her death was caused by anything other than natural causes.”

Aber’s family said in a statement that the 43-year-old suffered from “epilepsy and epileptic seizures for many years,” according to the Pilot.

Aber had led the Office of the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia during the Biden administration but resigned when President Trump retook the White House in January.

She gained national attention during her three years heading the office prosecuting high-profile cases, including a CIA leaker and Russian war criminals.

The late attorney had one of her biggest wins when ex-CIA analyst Asif Rahman, 34, pleaded guilty to leaking top-secret documents about Israel’s plan to strike Iran last year.

Rahman was convicted of posting sensitive information detailing Israel’s October strike on Telegram — forcing Israel to delay its retaliatory attack against Tehran.

Aber also oversaw a case against Eleview International Inc., a Virginia-based company whose two senior executives were accused of running “three different schemes to illegally transship sensitive American technology to Russia,” according to the Department of Justice.

Along with taking on the fraud and leak cases, Aber was involved in the DOJ’s unprecedented indictment of four Russian soldiers who allegedly committed war crimes against an American living in Ukraine.
