Federal prosecutor Beranton J. Whisenant Jr. found dead at 4:40 am, on Hollywood, Florida beach
Beranton was fully dressed in a suit and tie, not beach attire, leading authorities to guess that he was murdered and dumped there.
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) -- The body of a federal prosecutor has been found on a Florida beach with possible head trauma.
A father of three, Whisenant and his wife, Ebony, lived in Miramar.
Hollywood police spokeswoman Miranda Grossman said Thursday that the body of 37-year-old Beranton J. Whisenant Jr. was found early Wednesday by a passerby on the city's beach. She said detectives are trying to determine if the death was a homicide, suicide or something else. He likely suffered a head wound from a gunshot or other direct trauma.
Whisenant worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami in its major crimes unit. He had joined the office in January. Court records show he had been handling several visa and passport fraud cases.
Acting U.S. Attorney Benjamin G. Greenberg said in a statement that Whisenant was a "great lawyer and wonderful colleague." The office declined to comment on the investigation.
His office happens to be in Congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s district. He was investigating voter fraud charges against the DNC.
