Investigators found signs of a struggle in the apartment, including blood and indications that Thomas may have attempted to clean up the scene.
"It was a very physical and very violent attack. He was bludgeoned about in the head shoulders and neck," Tangipahoa Parish sheriff Gerald Sticker told WAFB.
Jarret Ambeau, a Baton Rouge lawyer who has represented Abraham in the past, shared his thoughts on his client's passing.
"Dr. Abraham was a very kind, very tender, very gentle man. No one deserves to die this way, but I would have never expected someone of his disposition to have been violently murdered," he said in a statement.
