William Stevenson, former husband of Jill Biden, has been arrested and charged with the first-degree murder of his wife, Linda Stevenson, following an alleged domestic dispute at their home in Wilmington, Delaware. Police found Linda unresponsive in their living room on December 28, 2025, and all attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful, according to New Castle County Police's statement and reports from various sources ABC News, SCMP, and BBC.

After a thorough investigation, Stevenson, 77, was indicted for Linda's death and remains incarcerated at the Howard Young Correctional Institution after failing to post a $500,000 bail. The indictment claims he "did intentionally cause the death" of his wife, according to police updates and further coverage India Times, Los Angeles Times, and ABC News.

During the incident, police responded to reports of domestic disturbances prior to discovering Linda Stevenson. Her obituary highlighted her as a family-oriented individual who ran a bookkeeping business and was a Philadelphia Eagles fan, yet notably did not mention her husband, further spotlighting the tragic circumstances of this case, as reported by outlets including BBC and SCMP.
