Death of Ex-Husband’s Wife in Delaware Under Investigation After Domestic Dispute Call

A tragic incident in Delaware has drawn widespread media attention after a 64-year-old woman was found dead in her home following a police response to a reported domestic dispute. Law enforcement authorities say they were called to the residence in the Oak Hill community of Wilmington late one Sunday night. Upon arrival, officers discovered the woman unresponsive and subsequently pronounced her deceased at the scene despite immediate life-saving efforts. People.com+1

The woman has been identified as Linda Stevenson, who was married to Bill Stevenson. Bill Stevenson is known publicly for having previously been married to former First Lady Jill Biden; the couple were married in the early 1970s before divorcing in 1975. Jill Biden later married Joe Biden, now a former President of the United States. People.com

Police say officers from the New Castle County Division of Police responded to an emergency call at approximately 11:16 p.m. The 911 call was reportedly related to a domestic dispute at the Stevenson residence. When officers entered the home, they found Linda Stevenson lying unresponsive in the living room. Despite attempts to provide emergency medical care, she was pronounced dead on the scene.

Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. Detectives from the New Castle County Police Criminal Investigations Unit have taken over the case, and Linda Stevenson’s body has been turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy to determine the official cause and manner of death. Police have not yet announced any charges or released conclusions regarding foul play. Newsweek

The case has drawn broader public interest because of its connection to the family history of Jill Biden, who served as First Lady of the United States until 2025. Jill Biden’s first marriage to Bill Stevenson ended decades ago, and subsequent reports indicate that Stevenson later remarried Linda Stevenson, who lived with him in Wilmington. However, the current investigation pertains strictly to the circumstances of her death and not directly to events involving the Bidens themselves. The Economic Times

Despite some social media speculation, there is no official confirmation that criminal charges are imminent, nor have authorities determined whether the situation should be classified as a homicide, accident, or natural death. A formal autopsy will provide further clarity, and police have asked anyone with relevant information to assist with their ongoing inquiry. LiveNOW
