Police say the death of a body in Alexandria, Virginia over the weekend was believed to have been “natural cause.”
The body of 43-year-old Jessica D. Abber was found at her Alexandria home on Saturday, but the Alexandria Police Department says they have not found any evidence of a foul play.
“At this time, detectives have found no evidence to suggest 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 medical inspectors return the final verdict on how she died. Police also urged the public to respect the privacy of Abber's family.
