"Police found Linda Stevenson, 64, unresponsive in the living room around 11:16 p.m. Sunday and immediately administered life-saving measures, the New Castle County Division of Police said in a statement.

"Jill Biden, then Jill Jacobs, married 23-year-old Bill Stevenson in 1970 while she was an undergrad at the University of Delaware. The union lasted until their nasty 1975 divorce following a 1974 separation, according to TMZ. She and then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Delaware, married in 1977. Bill and Linda Stevenson have been married for about 40 years. While Bill Stevenson has alleged over the years that Jill fooled around with Joe before they split up, Jill has denied the claims."

"Bill Stevenson was reportedly questioned by authorities in 2021 after claiming he had had an affair with Kathie Durst before her 1982 disappearance. Durst's husband, the late real estate scion Robert Durst, died in prison in 2022 while serving time for the murder of a friend, before he could stand trial for also murdering his wife. Bill Stevenson founded and once owned The Stone Balloon Tavern and Concert Hall, dubbed by Playboy magazine as One of the 100 Top College Bars in America,"
