Deeds was stabbed “numerous times about the head and upper torso,” state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said during a news conference at Virginia State Police headquarters in Albemarle County today.
Gus Deeds, 24, died inside the home from a gunshot, which another law enforcement officer said was an “apparent” self-inflicted wound.
The senator’s son was evaluated under an emergency custody order by mental health professionals on Monday and released, Dennis Cropper, executive director of the Rockbridge County Community Services Board, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The emergency custody order allowed Austin C. “Gus” Deeds to be held as long as four hours to determine whether he should be held longer, up to 48 hours, under a temporary detention order, Cropper said. The son was evaluated at Bath Community Hospital. An emergency custody order can be released by any magistrate.
Cropper said no psychiatric bed could be located across a wide area of western Virginia and the son was released.
