William Stevenson, 77, was taken into custody Monday and is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Linda Stevenson, according to a grand jury indictment filed in Delaware.
New Castle County Police did not provide details on the death, but an initial release on her death noted that officers responded to a domestic dispute on Dec. 28 at a residence in the Wilmington area.
Linda Stevenson was found unresponsive in the living room and died despite live-saving measures by officers at the scene. The press release at the time said that her body was turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy.

They haven't clarified what the cause of death is yet. He's being held on $500,000 bail.

Bill Stevenson married Jill Biden in 1970 when she was 18, but they divorced in 1975. She then went on to marry Joe Biden in 1977. He runs the Stone Balloon bar and music venue, which has had a lot of big acts play there over the years, including Bruce Springsteen.

Stevenson had previously raised questions about Jill and Joe being involved in a relationship while she was still married to him. He also accused Joe Biden of weaponizing the government against him previously.

So far, there has been no reaction from Joe or Jill Biden on the matter.
