The man who accused former Seattle Mayor Ed Murray last year of sexually abusing him was found dead Friday, KIRO Radio reports citing multiple sources.
Delvonn Heckard, 46, was found dead at an Auburn motel on Friday morning, KIRO reports. Auburn police responded to reports of the death at the Auburn Motel on Auburn Way. After they arrived, they noticed a fire that damaged three rooms and forced the motel’s evacuation.
"There was a certain point that I wasn't shocked. But I was very sad. As a matter of carrying his message and know who I thought him to be, I can say a hero passed away," attorney Lincoln Beauregard, who represented Heckard in his case against Murray, said to KING-TV.
The lawyer tweeted Friday, “A hero died today.”
