A tragic incident unfolded in Wilmington, Delaware Sunday night when police responding to a domestic dispute call discovered Linda Stevenson, 64, dead in the home of Bill Stevenson—the ex-husband of former First Lady Jill Biden.
Officers from the New Castle County Police Department arrived at the residence around 11:16 p.m. and found Mrs. Stevenson unresponsive in the living room. Despite immediate life-saving efforts by first responders, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The incident has cast a spotlight once again on the Biden family's Delaware connections, as Bill Stevenson was married to Jill Biden from 1970 to 1975, before her marriage to former President Joe Biden. Stevenson has previously made headlines for his claims about the circumstances surrounding his divorce from Jill Biden and her subsequent relationship with Biden.
Investigation Underway
The New Castle County Police Department's Criminal Investigations Unit has taken over the case, though details about the nature of the domestic dispute or the cause of death have not been released. Authorities have not announced any arrests in connection with the incident.
Bill Stevenson, who owns The Stone Balloon tavern near the University of Delaware campus, had previously described Linda as "the greatest thing in my life" in past interviews. The couple's relationship had been a source of stability for Stevenson following his highly publicized divorce decades ago.
This developing story adds another layer of tragedy to the complex web of relationships surrounding the Biden family's long history in Delaware politics. As President Trump continues to clean house in Washington, incidents like these serve as stark reminders of the personal dramas that often lurk behind the polished facades of political families.
The investigation remains active, and authorities have requested that anyone with information contact the New Castle County Police Department.
