Jamerson, who served as Clerk of the Virginia House of Delegates for 20 years, has died at the age of 53. His remains were found early Monday, and an examination revealed that it was a suicide. Jamerson, widely respected and admired among state legislators and staffers, was first employed by the House of Delegates in 1974, and helped coordinate the Capitol Restoration and Extension Project from 2004-2007. Gov. Bob McDonnell called Jamerson a “State Capitol institution.”
