Summary
- A Utah man was convicted of murdering his father in 2024.
- The son admitted to trying to suffocate his father first.
- The victim fought back before being killed with a hammer.
In 2024, a West Valley City, Utah, man was convicted of the murder of his father. Jeremy Pulver was found guilty this week of first-degree murder and multiple other offenses. The investigation began on April 26, 2024, when John Pulver's caregiver discovered his body.
According to investigators, Jeremy Pulver told police that his father had repeatedly asked him to end his life due to declining health. Over several hours, Jeremy attempted to fulfill this request using various methods, including attempting to suffocate his father with a plastic bag and a rag.
When the elder John Pulver resisted, described by Jeremy as fighting "like a ninja," the son resorted to using a hammer. Jeremy confessed to striking his father multiple times before leaving and later returning to find him deceased. Jeremy Pulver's sentencing is scheduled for November.
