Wife of Minnesota man who was found dead seeks public's support


The wife of a man found dead in his northern Minnesota home after he was reported missing is asking for the public’s support.

Benjamin Sherwood, 39, was found dead in his home in Mountain Iron on Wednesday, according to the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office. His wife, Jacqueline Sherwood, had reported him missing on Tuesday.

Jacqueline Sherwood told police she had last seen him at their home on the 8800 block of Main Street around 10 a.m., and he had left on foot.

Benjamin Sherwood had recently sustained an injury to his back and neck after slipping on ice. He also suffered from a prior traumatic brain injury.

In the announcement, the sheriff’s office stated that no foul play is suspected in his death.

Jacqueline Sherwood created a GoFundMe to help pay for funeral expenses. The couple have two children, ages 10 and 2, together.

“Our family moved to Minnesota just a few years ago and we have no extended family in the area. If you feel you can help in any small way, we would be so incredibly grateful for your generosity,” she wrote in the fundraiser.

“I want to give Ben the service he deserves, and give our children the chance to say goodbye to their daddy.”
