Former Planned Parenthood Director Takes His Own Life Following Child Porn Charges

A former director at Planned Parenthood took his own life days after police attempted to raid his home in a child pornography investigation.

Tim Yergeau, 36, worked at the Southern New England branch of Planned Parenthood as a strategic communications director, overseeing all 15 locations in the region.

New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson said Yergeau was the subject of a child pornography investigation. “The person who died was definitely the suspect in a child pornography investigation and the person who committed suicide,” Jacobson told the New Haven Registrar.

“It was an open investigation, so he knew he was going to be arrested,” he added.

On April 6, the New Haven police officials attempted to raid Yergeau’s residence but accidentally breached his upstairs neighbor’s apartment.

Five days later, Yergeau took his own life.

Fox News reported:

Police have yet to release details of the warrant and charges against Yergeau, saying there are still two open investigations related to the matter. Police have also declined to reveal what was found inside Yergeau’s apartment once they searched it.

Police say they have also opened an inquiry into how Yergeau committed suicide following the raid.
