A Shocking Turn of Events: Vermont Man Accused of Murdering Family Members Dies in Jail

In a tragic and unexpected twist, 29-year-old Nathan Carman, who was awaiting trial for the alleged murders of his mother and grandfather, has been found dead in his jail cell. The news of his death broke in the early hours of Thursday morning, leaving many questions unanswered.

The details surrounding Carman’s demise remain undisclosed, as authorities continue to investigate the circumstances. However, it has been reported that guards discovered his lifeless body at around 2:30 a.m. at a county jail in New Hampshire.

Carman’s trial, scheduled for October 2, was set to shed light on the shocking events that unfolded in 2013 and 2016. He was accused of shooting and killing his grandfather, John Chakalos, a decorated Army paratrooper and wealthy self-made businessman. The motive behind the alleged murder was said to be a desire to collect a substantial inheritance of $550,000 from the family trust fund.

But Carman’s alleged crimes did not stop there. In 2016, he took his mother, Linda, out on a fateful boating trip, which ended in tragedy. Prosecutors claim that Carman intentionally sank the boat, hoping to claim $85,000 in insurance money. His mother lost her life in the incident.

The indictment against Carman, unsealed in May 2022, accused him of murdering his mother during the ill-fated boating trip and subsequently lying to authorities about the events that transpired. While the indictment does not provide specific details about how Carman allegedly killed his mother, it does state that he deliberately sank the boat they were on. Remarkably, Carman managed to survive for eight days on a life raft before being rescued by a passing fishing vessel.

Throughout the investigation, suspicions were raised, particularly regarding the death of Carman’s grandfather three years prior. Carman vehemently denied any involvement in his grandfather’s demise, expressing his deep love and admiration for him.

Now, with Carman’s sudden death, the trial that was expected to unravel the truth behind these shocking events has been abruptly halted. The circumstances surrounding his passing are being closely examined, leaving many unanswered questions.

As the investigation continues, the full extent of this tragic story remains shrouded in mystery. The shocking deaths of Carman’s mother and grandfather, along with his own demise, have left a community in shock and searching for answers.
