BATON ROUGE - Nineteenth Judicial District Court Judge Christopher Dassau died suddenly Sunday.

He was found dead at his home on Sinbad Street, sources told WBRZ.

Dassau was elected to District Court in November 2020. He oversaw criminal trials.

Baker Mayor Darnell Waites told WBRZ in a statement, Dassau will be "deeply missed."

He said the judge was a respected colleague and friend.

"My deepest sympathies are with his family and loved ones today," Mayor Waites said.

Sources told WBRZ, a family member called police for a welfare check after not hearing from Dassau. Police knocked down the door of his home after knocking and no one answered. Dassau was found on the floor next to his bed, sources said. He may have been dead for some time, sources told WBRZ.

Details about what caused his death were not immediately available but sources said his death was from a health issue.


This dude was young. He just took the bench a little over a year ago.

fricking tragic. And I think his dad passed not all that long ago. I can't imagine what his mother is going through right now.

Didn’t know him well but did interact with him a bit before he was elected. Always very nice and easy to deal with.

I went to law school with him. He was a gentle giant and a man of impeccable character and decency. Baton Rouge got a little better when he took the bench. This sucks.

I agree. Not a whole lot of interaction with him, but it was readily apparent that he was a man of high character.
