His wife, Cerina Fairfax, was also found dead inside their home. The news came several years after Fairfax's political career started to fall apart, after facing sexual assault allegations from two women. On April 16, 2026, Fairfax County Police responded to a 911 call at the late Democrat's home in Annandale, Virginia, shortly after midnight.
