Virgin River’s Callum Kerr’s Parents’ Cause of Death Revealed

More has come to light about the shocking deaths of Callum Kerr’s parents.

After the Virgin River actor’s mother Dawn Searle and stepfather Andrew Searle were found dead at their home in Les Pesquies, south of the commune of Villefranche-de-Rouergue in France, prosecutors shared an update Feb. 11.

Andrew had appeared to die by suicide, according to post-mortem examinations obtained by the BBC, while Dawn suffered “multiple blows to the head with a blunt and sharp-edged object.”

However, authorities in the city of Rodez—who are leading the investigation—have emphasized that the circumstances surrounding their Feb. 6 deaths are still unclear.

“The investigation is ongoing,” prosecutors noted in a statement to the BBC, “particularly to determine whether the tragedy resulted from a domestic crime followed by suicide or involved a third party.” 

After a search of the premises, officials confirmed that a box of jewelry was found nearby, but “no object or weapon capable of causing the injuries was found.”
