East Lansing, Mich. (WKHM) — The East Lansing Police Department says that they have received an update from the Ingham County Medical Examiner’s Office identifying the bodies that were found in a freezer on November 7, 2024, in East Lansing.
The body of Susan Barbara Weerawat and the remains of the body of Pramort Weerawat have been identified using what officials described as “various scientific techniques.” The Ingham County Medical’s Office has advised ELPD that due to the condition of the bodies, the cause and manner of death will be classified as undetermined.
The extended family of the deceased couple has been notified. Due to the complex nature of this case, the Ingham County Medical Examiner’s office is still working diligently to complete the autopsy reports, and the Michigan State Police Crime Lab is beginning its examination of the physical evidence. The ELPD says they will continue to review the case, follow up on leads, and provide information to the public when available.
At this time, authorities say there is no indication of any other suspect besides the couple’s son, Jason Weerawat, who took his own life in July of 2024 in the Detroit area.
