THE DEATH of Michelle Witherell shocked the media and made headlines, her husband Jeremy was formerly a suspect during her investigation.

As coverage grew surrounding Michelle’s death, so did the mystery of whether or not Jeremy had a hand in her demise.

Who is Jeremy Witherell?

True crime sleuths are familiar with Jeremy Witherell through his association with his deceased wife, Michelle, and the headlines that followed in the wake of her death.

Jeremy and Michelle tied the knot sometime in 1992 and moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania shortly after.

The Cinemaholic reported the two decided to move there due to Jeremy obtaining a new job at the time.

On December 20, 1999, Jeremy was charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in relation to Michelle’s deadly tragedy.

However, on January 24, 2001, he was exonerated of all charges after a jury found him not guilty of the legal action brought against him.

Where is Jeremy now?

Following the media firestorm surrounding Michelle Witherell’s tragic death, Jeremy relocated back to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

According to his LinkedIn profile, he is the Senior Executive Account Manager of the Pittsburgh City Paper.

He assumed the position in April of 2016 and continues to hold the title.

When The US Sun attempted to reach Jeremy and the Pittsburgh City Paper for comment, they did not respond at the time of publication.

What was Michelle Witherell’s cause of death?

On December 19, 1992, Michelle’s husband frantically called 911 stating that his wife had fallen off their third-floor balcony.

When police arrived on the scene they found Michelle alive, lying in a pool of blood, and quickly rushed her to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries from the balcony incident.

She reportedly had signs of blunt force injury, a broken jaw, and fractured wrists.

Following her death, police conducted an investigation to determine if Michelle was murdered or if she committed suicide.

During the course of the investigation, police suspected that Jeremy had killed her after his story did not match the evidence.

He allegedly told three different versions of events to law enforcement, Michelle’s parents, and his own parents.

Police performed two polygraph tests on Jeremy, which he passed, but he was still arrested in December 1999 and charged with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.

After Jeremy’s acquittal, law enforcement decided to close Michelle’s case and rule it as an accidental death.
