On 14 October 2023, a corpse was found about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Borowce, where Jaworek committed his crimes. However, after DNA testing had been conducted, police refuted claims that it was Jaworek's body and concluded that it was a separate murder without any relation to his case.[5]

On 19 July 2024, Jaworek's body was found. A few days later, he was identified through DNA comparison. The cause of his death was determined to be suicide. He was 55.[6]
