A former Planned Parenthood director suspected of child pornography crimes was found dead by suicide Tuesday in New Haven, Connecticut, according to local authorities.
The Blaze reports Tim Yergeau, 35, of New Haven, reportedly killed himself five days after police raided his apartment as part of a child pornography investigation.
Yergeau worked at the abortion chain for approximately four years from 2018 to 2022 as the director of strategic communications for Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. An Instagram profile that The Blaze identified as his shows numerous photos of his pro-abortion advocacy, including wearing a Planned Parenthood T-shirt and participating in pro-abortion events.
New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson told The Middletown Press that “the person who died was definitely the suspect in a child pornography investigation and the person who committed suicide.”
“It was an open investigation, so he knew he was going to be arrested,” Jacobson added.
Here’s more from the report:
Jacobson … declined to confirm Yergeau was the suspect in the child pornography investigation. But Yergeau’s neighbor and the state Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner both confirmed he died Tuesday morning. The medical examiner also confirmed Yergeau died by suicide.
Police have not released details about the child pornography investigation yet. They said they are still investigating whether other individuals were involved.
