Federal prosecutor found dead on Hollywood Beach was devoted to public service

Whisenant’s career with the U.S. attorney’s office was only a few months old when the 37-year-old prosecutor was found dead in the water along Hollywood Beach early Wednesday. His death, which is being investigated as a crime by the Hollywood Police Department, was devastating news to his family and friends from Miami to Jacksonville, where he was raised by his parents, both medical doctors.

Whisenant’s tragic death, at least for now, remains a mystery.

A Hollywood police spokeswoman initially said Whisenant may have suffered a head wound caused by a possible gunshot or other type of trauma. But no more details were available on Friday, said Hollywood Police Department spokeswoman Miranda Grossman.

The FBI’s Miami office said it was aware of Whisenant’s death but not involved in the investigation.

Normally, if the death of a federal prosecutor or agent were retaliatory in nature or related to a criminal case, both the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office would be sounding the alarm and pursuing an aggressive investigation.
