TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - The husband of the former model who was found dead in her pool is now at a Leon County Jail. Adam Frasch was being held at the Bay County Jail, but sources say he was taken to Leon County Wednesday.

Though Samira Frasch's body was found in the pool, authorities have yet to release her cause of death or confirm what role her estranged husband may have played in her death, if any.

For now, police have said that Adam Frasch will face charges related to custody of the couple’s children. He was found in Panama City with both children over the weekend.

According to Samira’s attorney Buddy Whitlock, the couple had just begun divorce proceedings and the 46-year-old doctor who has a practice in Thomasville was not supposed to have the children.

Not a lot of details have been released about Samira's death. WTXL ABC 27 has obtained the 911 calls that were made to help shed some light on the mystery. We are working to post those calls online and will also have that story tonight.
