...The court file alleges the incident came at the end of several days of heavy drinking by Jermy. A struggle for the covers in their bed generated into an attack, according to the file, when Jermy grabbed his wife by the throat. After choking her with one hand and then the other to the extent where she couldn't speak, he put his thumb "hard into her wind pipe," she said. She feared he was trying to kill her.

...The past few days have been emotionally difficult for the Jermy family, and believe previous coverage about her death reflected poorly on her husband, former Kitsap County Deputy Sheriff Frank Jermy. Frank and Jane Jermy's 15-year-old daughter, Kayla, said her father is a "good person." "He loved her. He cared about her," Kayla said of the 17-year marriage between her parents, "He would have done anything for her."

Although officials have determined former Kitsap County Deputy Coroner Jane Jermy died of a gunshot wound to the head, much of the mystery surrounding her death has yet to be unraveled... determining the manner of death may take weeks. Jermy, 47, was found dead in her home by Kitsap County Sheriff’s deputies responding to a 911 call... The only other occupant of the home at the time was the deceased’s husband, former Kitsap County Deputy Frank Jermy, 45, who was later transported to the hospital. His medical condition was not released... Frank Jermy was hired as a deputy sheriff in 1983, but was placed on administrative leave after his arrest in a domestic violence incident between he and his wife involving a firearm in October of 2000, according to Wilson. In January of 2001, Frank Jermy was fired from the Sheriff's office for "violation of rules and policies." Three months later, he pleaded guilty to third-degree domestic violence assault in Kitsap County Superior Court...

Officials said Thursday that the former Kitsap County chief deputy coroner who was found dead inside her Port Orchard home in September took her own life. The Thurston County Coroner's Office, which conducted the autopsy, said Jane Jermy, 47, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Coroner Judy Arnold said contributing factors were chronic depression and prescription drug dependence. The disclosure comes more than two months after the coroner and Washington State Patrol began investigations into the death. Jermy was an enigmatic local figure who was remembered by some as a benevolent, caring person who helped people through the loss of friends and relatives, and by others as a woman who wasn't to be crossed. Her daughter, Allison Butler, told The Sun in September that her mother would be remembered for "her humor and her intelligence." "She was amazing. She could walk into a room and make it light up," she said. "She was just fun to all."...
