In a tragic incident, a man from New Jersey has been charged in connection with the killing of his 74-year-old mother, reportedly decapitating her. Jeffrey Surgent, 46, hailing from Ocean City, allegedly used a knife in the heinous act. Sources like ABC7 Chicago and NBC10 Philadelphia indicate that Surgent contacted emergency services, confessing to the crime around 4 p.m. on a Friday, mentioning his bipolar disorder in the call.
Upon police arrival at Surgent's residence, he was found naked atop his mother's decapitated body. According to various reports, Surgent expressed remorse for his actions to law enforcement officers. He was subsequently arrested and faces charges of murder, unlawful weapon possession, and weapon use for an unlawful purpose. Currently in custody in Cape May County, Surgent's family revealed that the victim was visiting her son on the day of the incident.
The tragic event occurred at an apartment on the 600 block of 6th Street, part of the Ocean City Housing Authority, where surveillance footage aided the investigation, as stated by authorities from the Ocean City Police Department, Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit, and the New Jersey Southern Regional Medical Examiner’s Office via Fox 29 Philadelphia.
A GoFundMe campaign initiated by Alexandria's grandson, Chase Surgent, aims to gather funds for her funeral expenses. Describing her as "the greatest grandmother in the world," the page portrays Alexandria as an integral part of their daily lives.
Despite reaching out for comment, the spokesperson for the Ocean City Police Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request.
