‘Carman Family Deaths’: What Happened to Nathan Carman? His Death After Murder Accusations
Nathan Carman faced charges of murder and fraud linked to family deaths and inheritance disputes before dying by suicide in custody at age 29, prosecutors said.
- On June 15, 2023, Nathan Carman died by suicide in jail while awaiting an October 2023 trial after pleading not guilty.
- A grand jury in 2022 charged Carman with his mother Linda Carman's 2016 death and with mail and wire fraud tied to John Chakalos's estate, citing $550,000 inherited and a $7 million claim.
- Authorities noted that Linda's body was never recovered and Carman said he was found on a life raft eight days later, claiming he survived on emergency packs after the boat sank.
- After his death, prosecutors dropped the charges against Carman, ending the prosecution, and the case has drawn renewed public attention via the Netflix documentary The Carman Family Deaths and family statements.
- An autism specialist said Carman's diagnosis may have affected police interpretation, while prosecutors suspected but never charged him in his grandfather John Chakalos's 2013 killing, leaving unresolved suspicions.
