Linda Stevenson, the 64-year-old wife of former First Lady Jill Biden's ex-husband Bill Stevenson, was found dead in their Wilmington, Delaware home Sunday night after police responded to a domestic dispute call, according to the New Castle County Police Department.
Officers arrived at the residence around 11:16 p.m. and discovered Mrs. Stevenson unresponsive in the living room. Despite immediate life-saving measures administered by responding officers, she was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Social Media Erupts Over Delaware Tragedy
The shocking news quickly spread across social media platforms, with users expressing disbelief over the tragic circumstances. Twitter user @JackReache82794 posted, "Am I Reading this right?

The Washington Times also reported on the incident, tweeting: "Linda Stevenson, wife of Jill Biden's first husband Bill Stevenson, found dead after domestic dispute call."
Additional details emerged through social media, with @TheCryptoBull11 sharing: "TMZ Reports: Jill Biden's ex-husband, Bill Stevenson, lost his wife, Linda Stevenson, who was found dead at their Delaware home following a domestic dispute call. New Castle County Police responded around 11:15 PM Sunday and discovered the 64-year-old unresponsive in the living."
Investigation Ongoing
The New Castle County Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit has taken over the case, though authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding Mrs. Stevenson's death or the nature of the domestic dispute that prompted the initial call.
Bill Stevenson was previously married to Jill Biden from 1970 to 1975, before she married Joe Biden in 1977. This tragic incident adds another layer of complexity to the Biden family's Delaware connections, as the investigation continues in the same state where the former president maintained his longtime residence.
The investigation remains active, and authorities are expected to release more information as it becomes available.
