The lawyer suspected of fatally beating his girlfriend is preparing to surrender, cops said yesterday — as officials revealed he’d called police Tuesday night, told them he threw her against a wall during a fight and asked them to see if she was all right.

When they arrived at the Queens apartment alleged killer Jason Bohn, 33, shared with Weight Watchers executive Denielle Thomas, officers found her body in an ice-filled bathtub, according to authorities.

Bohn’s lawyer called detectives to make the surrender arrangements. Sources said he may have fled to Florida, where he attended law school and met Thomas, 27, at a football game last fall, sources said.

The two carried on a long-distance relationship until March, when she moved into his Astoria apartment — despite a violent fight over New Year’s.

“When she visited him, he at one point threw her out in the cold,” said a pal who did not want to be identified while Bohn was on the loose. “When a friend took her in, he managed to get her to come back and tell him what the friend had said — and then [he] threatened the friend.”

The two fought relentlessly for months until May 24, when Bohn beat her so severely that the bruises on Thomas’ face and back were still showing two weeks later, when she reported the assault to cops.

Thomas’ friends said they were sorry they didn’t talk her out of moving from Florida, where she had a job in finance with the Walt Disney Co.

“I think everyone who heard anything about the situation now believes he’s a sociopath, and we feel terrible about giving her no more than token resistance when she said she was moving in with him,” a friend said.

Thomas’ colleagues at Weight Watchers, where she was a senior financial analyst, were stunned by the murder.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of Danielle Thomas . . . We are providing any and all support we can to her family and are cooperating fully with the police,” the company said in a statement.

Her grieving mom was waiting for cops to release the body so she could plan her only daughter’s funeral.

“I’m doing as well as can be expected,” a tearful Jamie Thomas Bright said yesterday.

Family friend Paula Thomason lavished praise on Thomas, who attended Boyle County HS with Thomason’s son, Ryan.

“Danielle was an extremely kind person . . . My son, Ryan, is hearing impaired, and Danielle didn’t know a drop of sign language, but went out of her way to befriend him and communicate with him,” Thomason said. “She’s just a really, really good girl.”

Other friends posted messages on Facebook.

“Miss you Dani,” wrote Sam Abbit.

“Oh my god. That makes me so sad. How awful,” added Michelle Leigh.

At the apartment building on 33rd Street in Astoria where the couple lived, neighbors said Bohn routinely beat Thomas.

He even called the desperate woman on her cellphone and threatened her as she was in the 114th Precinct station house getting a restraining order.

“It’s war!” Bohn raged at Thomas. “I’ll dedicate my life to hunting you down like a dog in the streets! I am going to make your life impossible!”

The alleged killer has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Columbia and a law degree from the University of Florida.
