SLIDELL - An officer with the Slidell Police Department passed away Saturday morning after he was involved in an on-duty motorcycle crash in September.

According to Slidell PD, Officer Jason Seals passed away early Saturday morning.

He left behind a loving wife, three kids, and many others who loved him dearly. This is going to be a very difficult time for our Slidell Police family," Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal.

Funeral arrangements have not been discussed and Slidell PD will release more details as they become available.
