Wife Of Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband Found Dead After Police Respond To Possible Domestic Dispute

Linda Stevenson, the longtime wife of Bill Stevenson — who was previously married to Jill Jacobs (now Jill Biden) — was found unresponsive late Sunday after police in New Castle County, Delaware, responded to a report of a possible domestic dispute, local authorities and media reports said.

New Castle County officers were dispatched to the residence at about 11:15 p.m. Sunday to investigate what was described as a potential domestic disturbance, according to WDEL. Inside the home, officers discovered Linda Stevenson unresponsive; despite emergency efforts she was later pronounced dead.

Her body has been transferred to the Delaware Medical Examiner’s Office, where an autopsy will determine the cause and manner of death. Authorities have not announced any criminal charges in connection with the incident, and TMZ reported no charges had been filed as of the latest reports.
