William Stevenson, the former husband of former first lady Jill Biden, was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Linda Stevenson, following what authorities described as an extensive weeks-long investigation.
Stevenson, 77, was taken into custody days after his 64-year-old wife was found unresponsive on the living room floor of their Delaware home. Investigators said the charge came after law enforcement completed a detailed review of the circumstances surrounding her death.
According to reporting by Fox 29, officers were called to the home on the 1300 block of Idlewood Road on Dec. 28, 2025, for a domestic dispute. Linda Stevenson was discovered unresponsive in the living room and was pronounced dead at the scene. William Stevenson was taken into custody Monday at the same residence.

Court records show Stevenson is being held at the Howard Young Correctional Institution after failing to post a $500,000 bond.
Additional details about the discovery of Linda Stevenson’s body were reported by TMZ, which cited 911 dispatch audio referencing a possible cardiac arrest. TMZ reported that Linda Stevenson was found dead in the living room after police responded to the domestic dispute call.
Authorities have not released further information about the cause of death or the evidence leading to the murder charge. The case remains pending as Stevenson awaits further court proceedings.
