After Sean Suiter’s death, the police investigation treated the case as a homicide. However, no arrests were made, and an independent investigation was authorized. The report ruled Sean’s death to be a suicide. However, Nicole alleged that her husband had been murdered. She insisted that Sean did not show any signs that would point to a potential suicide. Nicole recounted that a few hours before his death, she and Sean had joked about a video of him dancing.

“[I] will not go on allowing anybody to shame my husband’s name and ruin his legacy with these false allegations of suicide,” Nicole said in an interview with WMAR2 in 2018. She further claimed that Sean’s alleged murder was being covered up by the police. “Based on the fact that no one knew my husband better than I, I will not accept the untimely death of Sean as nothing other than a murder, which is being covered up for reasons unknown to me or my family,” she added.

While the police closed the case as suicide, the state’s attorney has said that the case of Sean’s death is still open. Nicole has also expressed her views on her husband’s death in the documentary film ‘The Slow Hustle.’ She likely continues to reside with her five children in Pennsylvania. In 2020, Sean’s family won a workers’ compensation case and was granted $900,000 compensation for his death in the line of duty. At the time, Nicole called the court’s decision as partial admittance of her husband’s death as murder. She continues to fight for justice for her husband’s supposed murder.
