Brian DiBiasi, a former police officer charged alongside his wife with having sex in front of children, was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in New Jersey on Tuesday, Oct. 28, a spokesperson for the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office confirmed.

The 40-year-old former Hamilton (Mercer County) police officer was found dead in an area of Washington Crossing State Park in Hopewell near the Delaware River, a spokesperson from the prosecutor's office said. The prosecutor's office is assisting Hopewell police with the death investigation.

DiBiasi and his wife, Elizabeth DiBiasi, 43, a longtime sergeant in the Mercer County Sheriff's Office, were arrested in January after investigators received a report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), as previously reported by Daily Voice.
